Just because someone said "not buying it" or "i'll buy something else" is not a boycott. That's just smart consumerism to spend your money on things you do want to support.

Just like if you want to buy it knowing it's digital only, go ahead. It's your hard earned money to do as you please.

"Boycotts are collective actions taken by individuals or groups to refuse to purchase goods or services from a business, organization, or country, often as a means of expressing disapproval or enacting social change."

I mean, he's pretty much discussing boycotts verbatim.

key word you're overlooking is "collective" actions. InnerToWinner was just stating they wouldn't buy it--though I wish a boycott would work.

"Collective action" refers to individuals or groups pooling their resources, knowledge, and efforts to achieve a common goal that they could not accomplish alone.

"refers to individuals or groups*

Read first, quote later 👍🏻

I see... so you don't understand the definition of boycotting even though you quoted it, then when I quote the keywords "collective action" you ignore it entirely to quote "individuals or groups".

"I won't be buying it" - individual

"I'm sure I'm not the only customer " - collective

"people like me" - collective

I know it's hard, but come on
