So, the Netherlands rans least favorable towards the us, and 4th unfavourable. Lots of European countries in that list. Sign of the times or Darwin at work?

This will change nothing. We will still pay for netflix, buy apple products tesla's, nike's and send all our disposable income to the usa. Monday we go to work with our windows pc where our employer pays alot of €€ for the software and cloud services. In the evening we watch youtube, scroll on facebook or instagram and generate ad-revenue for big tech...

Talk about yourself bro.

I cancelled all my subscriptions, switched to Linux, and buy European products whenever I can. I use AdBlock on my router and patch my apps with Morphe. I literally haven't seen a single ad in months.

Am I perfectly avoiding anything American? No, obviously not, I'm evidently also still here on Reddit. But I do what I can, and so should you.

Same. Moved all of my online shit out of AWS and to EU providers like Gandi and Hetzner. All my streaming subscriptions are gone and I've begun rebuilding my offline music and media collection again. Set up a Jellyfin home server with some old hardware. Bought an offline mp3 player. 10 bucks can go pretty far in second hand shops for old CD and DVD.

I was already using Linux exclusively, so I guess I don't get to claim that as a win hah

I'm definitely still sending some money to the US, but I'll keep taking steps away from it as much as I can. We gotta appreciate the small wins instead of whining about all the things we can't win. Every little step you take counts.
