How does a subscription compare to TV purchases? How does that one instance of politically driven consumer action equate to “every time ever”? Have you heard of Nestlé? People have boycott them forever and they still exist. Why?

How does it not? It’s a withheld purchase (AKA “voting with your wallet”)

How does that one instance of politically driven consumer action equate to “every time ever”?

It doesn’t and wasn’t supposed to. The last part did.

Have you heard of Nestlé? People have boycott them forever and they still exist.

They obviously don’t or they wouldn’t exist.

Got it, so in your case, if it applies to your argument, it’s possible and works “every time ever”, and if it goes against your argument, it doesn’t exist and no one is boycotting.

You are not arguing in good faith, and only want to be right in this instance.

I’m sure you’ve never bought a display, GPU, or computer with HDMI, and I’m sure you’ve advocated for your friends and family to stop buying anything with HDMI certification. Right?

Yes, because it’s not logically possible. Once again, if people stop buying them, they can’t sell them. And they’ll be forced to make something else that people will want to buy.

I didn’t say “no one”, but it doesn’t have to be everyone either. There has to be more than a few people such that if affects their bottom line.

You are not arguing in good faith, and only want to be right in this instance.

I could say the same about you.

I’m sure you’ve never bought a display

I’ve bought lots of things with HDMI that also have Display Ports.
