I fail to follow you logic.

Say if I think a restaurant charges a ludicrous price for a plain hamburger, I point it out the price is ridiculous and outrageous, then I share my opinions with the public. But you are saying I should open a hamburger store instead?

Why would I want to run a hamburger store? I am just a smart shopper who knows where and how to shop. I am no competitor or merchant, nor do I want to be one.

Why should I start a competing company whenever I see a company run an open-for-those-who-don't-know-better model?
