I suppose evangelism still has some value if you have a big enough platform. There's always frog-boiled obliviousness to deal with or the next gen coming up and trying to figure out which problems are real and which are old people yelling at clouds. But most people know about the problems now.
So taxonomies and other nit-picking feels like a distraction. Enshittification, bullshit fees, extraction/exploitation, monopolies, rot-economy, harmful business models. Call it what it is, late-stage capitalism is bad. The alternative isn't some commie thing.. it's just normal capitalism, and it works better for absolutely everyone except billionaires.
