    How would they know that you’ve done it in protest? The point is communicating that it’s bullshit so it stops not to fuck up their data whilst they keep doing it.

    I mean it won’t stop either way, but ensuring they know how shit they are should be the point, surely.

        All that does is lead to incorrect conclusions that are then taken into consideration when they decide what to do next, which will then affect us again. Seems like yours is at least as ineffective a protest, they certainly don’t care. Not to mention there definitely isn’t going to be anywhere near enough people doing it to have any effect whatsoever.

            To yours the response can only ever be nothing. Because they don’t know it’s happening. It won’t even enter their mind, maybe even if everyone did it. If everyone just said no in the other comment box they’d at least have a “oh shit everyone really hates this” moment before they went back to ignoring it.

                No you’re assuming they can’t use it. Why do you think they would give a shit? They can still use it because, again, only a tiny tiny portion of users are doing it so it doesn’t poison their data. Even if it did, it’d just mean that the actions they take that are informed by said data would make things worse for users. Pointless.

                You are literally accomplishing nothing and you’re not even registering on their radar, because there’s no way they’ll ever even know that you give a shit. That’s the most ineffective protest possible.
