    not just chatgpt.

    Stop using Amazon, Meta products, Netflix, Spotify, etc.

    All of these massive corporations are actively making life worse for people, and it will only get worse and worse as people continue to stay subscribed.

    The only option is to log off and find an alternative.

      Apparently, they just took somebody else’s idea and made it all about ChatGPT:

      QuitGPT is in the mold of Galloway’s own recently launched campaign, Resist and Unsubscribe.

      Resist and Unsubscribe encourages you to get away from Google and Amazon, as well as OpenAI. QuitGPT endorses both (Google directly, Amazon indirectly).

      Resist and Unsubscribe is a holistic project; QuitGPT cuts out everything except for one product.

      Resist and Unsubscribe doesn’t inadvertently promote a single product; QuitGPT practically functions as a sneaky advertising campaign (kind of like how Larry David said he wouldn’t invest in FTX).

      It seems pretty clear which project is better, even if I don’t agree with everything the guy behind it said:

      Galloway argued that the best way to stop ICE was to persuade people to cancel their ChatGPT subscriptions.

      I don’t think voting with your dollars will make a huge difference when every ChatGPT subscription costs OpenAI money, but go off I guess

        Microsoft, Tesla, Twitter, Nvidia, Nestle…

        … in fact, forget buying altogether.

        Yep, should go without saying! I didn’t list every company but there are plenty more who belong there.
