Try exiting Google or Amazon. It's borderline impossible.

Basically - how do I exit a company if I'm not the one choosing to use their services?

I cannot use the internet and avoid Google's ads.

I cannot use the internet and avoid Amazon's hosting.

I cannot exit the internet because I literally make my living with it, the competitive disadvantage of doing so is SO great with the way we've structured services and life in general that it doesn't really work.

We probably disagree about how bad that is, but I think it's a valid argument within the voice/exit framework.
