telling someone by not using them they're hurting immigrants is just a whole lot of backwards
Backwards? What's backwards about wanting to inform people of all the consequences to their actions? Life is messy and complicated. Far too often people don't want to think about all the consequences to their actions so they can erase that complexity.
As an aside, not all of these companies are Silicon Valley-based anyway. SkipTheDishes, the one I use, is a Canadian company.

You can say the same thing for every food truck or small restaurant you've ever passed. The simple act of ordering food from one place instead of another risks putting the other out of business and that family out on the streets.
At some point we need to fix societal issues instead of worrying that not consuming goods or services is harmful.
Don't get me wrong. I've used and use these services at times. I'm not morally opposed to them. I just think that saying that telling someone by not using them they're hurting immigrants is just a whole lot of backwards.
