Yet the people voting with their wallets seem to go with cheaper option, regardless of what hides behind it.

Being shoes, offshoring, Webwidgets or AI generated code.

Sure. People go for the cheapest option that fits their requirements, mostly.

But we’re the shoemakers, not the consumers. It’s actually our job to preserve our own and our peers quality of life.

Cheapest good option possible doesn’t have to be the sweatshop - tho the shareholders of nike or zara would have you believe that - the labor movements of the 19th century proved that’s not the case.
