I think you might be missing a few things.
First, sure there's probably some minor feedback but really, outside of luxury goods (which neither Apple or Google are at this point) more customers is seen as better by investors/the market.
Yes, the market is all theatre but amazingly, it's theatrics to which a great deal of attention is paid. The more share prices of magnificent 7 stocks drop, the more that affects those who have actual power and influence.
Heck, forget abandoning smartphones, living in a cave would be the ultimate way to not contribute to America. But most folks want to balance their morals with a functional life, which for many includes a smartphone.
If you want to slap back, instead of trying desperately to convince maybe a handful of folks to switch to dumb phones over tarrifs, much better to help a lot of people make incremental but helpful changes.
I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything.
Well, maybe that the conglomeration of everything across the world into the hands of oligarchs means that tariffs are the lesser problem, but even that, I ain't got patience to convince people of.
I'm just rambling and venting a little
Every comment can be argued to be an attempt to try to convince people of a certain viewpoint.
Including this one pointing out the comment posted was a long laid out argument trying to change someone's perspective of current events. ha
Sure, but intent does matter.
As does the structure of the comment/conversation.
For me, if I'm trying to convince someone as the intent, I go about it different than if I'm expressing my thoughts/opinions and if it ends up convincing them, that's okay, but it's also okay if it doesn't.
