Same as it has been for the last 100 years: Vote with your money. If you don't like the product/service, don't buy it. Stop thinking you can force them to change their offering.

The same could be said about a lot of sources of income. It's subjective what is considered a job.

I've seen this quote repeated over and over these past few weeks, while noone brothers to actually explain what it means and why. This article is no different unfortunately.
