Users warn opting out of unwanted tech won't stop it

Original: RE: https:// universeodon.com/@mathew/11745 7117793205381 Unfortunately, the consquence of more & more people opting out

Commenters are pushing back on the idea that consumer opt-out will curb unpopular technology rollouts. Writing on Mastodon, one user argues that companies will not conclude "nobody wanted this" when people boycott a feature; instead, the option to opt out will simply disappear, forcing everyone to accept the product. The remark resonates with frustration over platforms imposing changes regardless of user preference.

Why now: Ongoing frustration that companies keep shipping unwanted features and remove user choice when people resist.
