In the case of companies as large as Microsoft, Google, Apple, etc sadly this is not enough. I suggest reading Chokepoint Capitalism (Giblin and Cory 2022) in which they highlight the numerous mechanisms, legal or not, they use to prevent actual competition. So… yes vote with your “wallet or usage” but also with your actual political vote in the hope that people elected will enforce existing policies, e.g antitrust, so that competition can genuinely exist.
100% agree. Participation in the election process is a must if you’re in a country that allows one to do so. I’ve not heard about this book, will have a look.
