> Big Tech cannot ruin your life if you simply don't participate in the capitalistic market. I mean sure, it's difficult to live completely off-grid, but in modern world, it's a long way before you starve to death.

You still have to pay taxes, and doing this means giving up on a lot of your existing human connection, joining a community in no small part comprised of crackpots, tanking your quality of life, and losing your influence over the future of broader society.

Furthermore, it's a personal solution to a systemic problem. It'll work for a few people, but it's not a fix.

You don't think there's anyone who has similar values and reasons for joining as the OP?

> tanking your quality of life

That sounds very subjective based on what one values.

"Bro I can't wait to go back to being an UberEats delivery driver without any insurance living below minimum wage working all day every single day just to afford to rent half a room and small instant ramen"
