We don't. People are surprisingly combative against learning things that don't directly affect them. How does this not affect them?

We're there to fix the issues.

So I guess the answer really is stop fixing things and let them figure out until they've wasted enough money to bother accepting to learn?

Because really - most people don't care about the Internet as long as they can Facebook freely.

So create a mass replicating malware that puts facebook.com and its IP addresses into the hosts file and re-direct them to a webpage that teaches them how to fix it? Yeah.... That'll go over REAL well.

...How in the world did you come to that conclusion?

I never said SABOTAGE them. I said let them learn naturally.

Also it wouldn't work because if you did and you don't fix it, they'll just ask someone else to fix it.
