> how even knowing the company is stealing from their employees isn't enough to get you to drop using their service

why should it be?

ahh whaaat? mashes downvote button

since you are still reading, what is the exact thought process here, can you articulate this? So the service works and still provides a convenience for you, but is this action being masqueraded as the most effective way to get the company to change a policy amongst all other possible actions? Is it just to not "support" a company that does a single thing you disagree with? Is it something else?

I think there are more effective ways of bringing Instacart into compliance with your ideals. Isn't that a possibility?

edit: and no responses by time of writing while on the way to getting downvote censored. Be interesting to see if it flips when a different crowd gets off of work.



I downvoted this comment because it's got not one, but two complaints about being downvoted. Also, because it seems to be very low empathy ("Why shouldn't we reward thieves if they're effective thieves on your behalf?")


So ignoring 90% of the post and the entire point of it, got it

The perspective of “rewarding thieves” is a perspective I asked for

Yet you wouldnt have even commented except for the meta downvoting mention. I dont even think you realize that the “first” downvoting complaint was part of the original post and wasnt a complaint, it was because people are predictable and maybe they would continue reading and contribute to the thread


Can you give an example of more effective ways of bringing Instacart into compliance with your ideals? Do you mean, write them a sternly worded email?


I would make the hypothesis that mass sternly worded emails would have the same desired effect as mass service cancelling.

or to put it another way, I would say that an individual cancelling to telepathically convey their disagreement with a company is just as effective as an individual writing a sternly worded email

or even protesting on the street
