Sounds like competiting versions of slacktivism to me.

Slacktivism is a word people even lazier than the slacktivists use to describe small attempts at change. As a lazy guy myself, I'd lift my glass to you if it wasn't all the way over there.
Sorry the idea about being another person acting outraged on Twitter about something makes me cringe.

I'd rather spend my time building decentralized alternatives to those products. Which is what I'm doing in my spare time.

We, the developers and startup peoples, are the ones who can do something real about it.
