Why don't people bother to fight back though.

You can.

  1. Buy stock for a company that prioritizes steady sustainable growth instead of chasing an ever increasing profit margin.

  2. Plan to keep that stock for decades.

  3. Buy more stock as time goes on, never stop buying that stock.

  4. Pray that a giant conglomerate doesn't decide to buy it.

  5. If a conglomerate buys it, dump stock immediately while everyone else is buying. Then reinvest it all into a new company.

Repeat as needed.

It'll help good companies, and if enough do it, conglomerates might eventually not seeing gobbling every other company up as profitable.
