I do agree that would be rather boring existence, but there will always be low cost activities or even ways to lower the cost of already existing activities. Like in current context, simply buying later when theres a sale and not buying on release day.
But i am advocating for a change, through the only means people have in their control. We have no control over markets, we have no control over what the companies decide to do. It’s even arguable how much control we have over our government and in extensions how much control they are willing to exert over companies.
But we can choose where we spend our money.
Yes, world is increasingly monetized. Refusing to participate in it will not have any effect, it requires active effort against it to change it and yes that does mean giving up some comforts, but on a bright side. Organizing rallies and looking for like minded individuals on a local level works rather well to bring people together or even just convincing people not to go along with the monetization.
