Some people always stay for some reason.

It’s because they have such a huge market share that people don’t even realize there are alternatives. Or the alternatives are so far behind that they’re not really a viable option for most. What’s the alternative to Microsoft? Apple who also sucks, or Linux which is really hard to get into for the average person. What’s the alternative to streaming? Buying physical media, which is going away, or pirating and hosting your own shit. What’s the alternative to Amazon? Buying locally, but you have to get off your ass and the costs are going to be much higher and it’s going to be difficult to find a lot of niche items. Especially now that a lot of malls are dead. There’s countless other examples but those are the main ones that came to mind. These companies just have built up so much inertia in people’s lives that it’s going to be a long while before they feel the effects of their enshittification. There’s also a factor of a lot of people just do not think very hard about the products they buy. I’ve watched people by cars on a whim for fucks sake. They see an ad for something and it gets in their brain that they need to have it or think that a product must be better because it is more expensive without much critical evaluation. I think the economy going to shit is going to hit these companies worse than the consequences of their own actions will for a long time.
