Discussion What’s the point in Boycotting?
It seems like everyone forgot about standing against major corporations that eliminate DEl and supporting small businesses-only to turn around and go back a few days later for something like cheaper cake. What's the point of starting a movement if everyone abandons it so quickly?

I mean it's probably not going to be an all-or-nothing commitment. Actively looking for alternatives when you can will still reduce consumption.
A good amount of content creators are probably sponsored and paid to make content promoting certain businesses and trends too.
I'm not on TikTok so I don't know what the cake looks like, but pretty much any cake made in a square cornered pan can be cut to a passable heart shape really quickly. Lop off three corners so it looks like a Royal cut gem that's viewed sideways ( 💎 )and take a triangle in from the flat middle top.
