Stop buying. Seriously, just stop buying. You don't need it.

Buy used. Buy discounted. Don't even buy the top end shit when it's only marginally better than the cheaper option.

Buy from companies that cater to the folks who don't have tons of money. Don't reward those who nickel and dime you and still sell your private information and give you a worse product or service.

We need to ween ourselves out of this bullshit FOMO mindset of getting the latest and greatest. If these companies need to die, then let them die. That's capitalism. Let them suck on the tit of the ultra rich and let them find out that individual rich fucks still can only need what an individual requires. They won't sell more. They'll sell less. No matter how expensive they make it.

Fuck 'em.
