Legend
In the end, you got to put your money where your mouth is. Or in this case, not put your money.
Wagging fingers means nothing if you still buy their books and praise its content to other people who get encouraged to buy it.
Though I expect in a niche industry that does not fill a required need and competes with other industries for the same consumer money, it's probably going to do little to improve conditions in that sector. It's not like there's any rival competing with WotC and D&D for the top position. If D&D shrinks, it will be seen as simply a shrinking market and not a move of customers to competing companies that provide a comparable product under better conditions. And what we see in practice is claims of D&D only growing.
Deciding not to buy D&D books probably only helps your own sense of integrity, but I don't think it will put a single dollar into any creator's pocket.
