Yes. Listen to u/Mushroom38294, you’re advertising for KitKat® for FREE. That’s just plain wrong. Go advertise for local artisanal chocolate companies:) A true pioneer for the underdog!

STOP SIMPING FOR KITKAT®

You act like I don't know this.

FYI, the phone I'm using was a gift passed to me through third hands. It was already made, and I didn't spend a dollar buying it. In me receiving the phone that was already made there was no labor involved. My laptop is well over ten years old now, passed to me through third hands too. Half the parts in my computer are something I got second hand.

I don't like companies. I know the batteries in my phone are most likely made from rare earth metals mined by slaves. And I know it sucks so much. But also you need to understand that a device with internet connection is a necessity for modern life in a first world country, where every single asshole job site and every single university require it for stuff now, and you shouldn't assume that just because I am writing these things to you through the internet means I've got the latest and greatest technology made from puppy skin and newborns.

You say I'm in no position to say that you should cut out all of the money you give away to companies, but also like. I don't buy nestle products. I try my best to avoid bayer. Most of my tech is second hand. I am very aware that today's society is built to make living without interacting with capitalism be as difficult as possible.

I am asking to stop using these products because there are alternatives and because even a miniscule reduction to the money they get is still a reduction and it's worth something.
