It seems every week on here there is a thread lamenting how users are forced into subscription software services with no attempt at a solution. Inspired by the recent Reddit protest, is there something we can do to combat this? Perhaps a mass unsubscribe day? Happy to organize it if there's interest or contribute to any efforts already ongoing in this space.

I can understand that their 20+ year career has consisted of considering worst-case scenarios. I can understand that they are incentivized to value stability and consistency over moving quickly. I like privacy and security as much as the next guy but I'd estimate that for 2/3 of the PEs I've worked with their risk aversion becomes bureaucratic. Is there anything to be done about this or is that the role they play and we should just acknowledge their perspective and move on?
