Did the generation that tends to moan about the downward curve the most do anything when self-funded type ratings became a big thing? Nothing. Did they do much to stop P2F? Not really. Bogus self-employment contracts for the new entrants? Let them be! Because why bother when it's only a concern to the youngsters? And that was the case right until it crept upon everyone, young and old.

Nobody other than you can (or will) defend your own interests. Forget about anyone campaigning to make your life any better, nobody will bother and nobody will take the associated risks. Even in the best of times, everyone's priority is their own welfare. Also, nobody other than you can judge what's in your best interests right now. For someone, not working for 2 years in hopes of returning to the same package as in January afterwards might be the way to go. For many, it's not. Those many simply can't survive those 2 years without work - and their alternatives on the ground will not bring them any sizable fraction of the reduced package.

Some might call it trolling or whatever. I really, really wish it was... As much as we try to deny it, that's the reality of life.
