What’s the alternative, that eBay is forced to sell things they don’t believe are in their best interests to list?


No, the alternative is that the execs at ebay grow a spine and tell the morality censors to go pound sand. Not that complicated.


I think it's good you're correctly identifying the group actually making the decision, rather than vaguely blaming "Twitter" or even more broad, "cancel culture".

I wish more folks understood it's the companies themselves who are overreacting. Trying to fix people on the Internet is an unsolvable problem. Demonstrating to companies that outrage is almost always temporary and not business-impacting seems achievable.
