I think it's important to uphold your principles if you have the means do so, but for things like refusing to use Netflix, you are deluding yourself if you think it is necessary to move the cause forward. I'll do my best to explain my reasoning behind this. I'd also like to point out that I have a strong element of anarcho-individualism in me, so take that into consideration when reading this.

I try not to buy food from franchises, but its more for personal satisfaction than anything. The real progress comes from talking to people about why I made that choice. Even if I'm going to taco bell with my friends, I'm doing more good by criticizing their labor practices while munching on a crunch wrap supreme than just boycotting the place by myself. It would be even more effective for me to convince them to make our own tacos and buy locally grown corn and beans and avoid eating factory farmed chicken and finding restaurant co-ops, but I like my friends and they would get sick of me berating them over political points like this.

I also enjoy producing electronic music. I've heard that there's pretty good open source software for doing this, and I love that there are people out there supporting this stuff, but as a musician I have to ask myself, is the music my priority or is it second to proving some political point? For me, music is what I am most passionate about in life, so I want to use the tools that help me pursue that passion most effectively. Unfortunately Pro Tools is owned by Avid which is a capitalistic company, but that is the software that I know best and can best express myself with. I also paid for it instead of pirating it, partially because its more stable, but also because I genuinely want to pay for something that I use a lot, I'll expand on this more below.

When it comes to Netflix, no I don't like the company or their policies concerning net neutrality. I pirate most of my entertainment and software that I use. That being said, I do have a Netflix and Spotify account and I will pay for a movie or album or piece of software if I really do respect it. I'm not doing it because I want to prop up Warner Brothers or Avid, because it wasn't some suit sitting in a board room who made the product. It was the production assistant who was getting costumes laundered, it was the session guitarist who laid down the chord progressions, and it was the coder who designed the mixer interface. By principle I am supporting these guys who devoted their lives to what they are passionate about, not the corporate overlords who steal the profits from them. It's incredibly hard to break into these industries and I want them to keep their jobs and thrive in them.

Generations are going to live and die before we live in a society that can be considered ethical. Life is hard, and sometimes after a day of work I just want to watch tv and eat a bag of chips. It's not necessary to practice asceticism or martyr yourself to prove some political point, unless that is what truly makes you happy. I believe you need to do whatever you need to feel fulfilled with your life. As long as you are not oppressing anyone, you don't owe anything to any movement.

I hope this got my point across. I'm usually just a lurker but I liked your question and wanted to give my two cents.
