If you haven't bought in yet, this is just the new reality. There's no need to boycott or lament how things used to be, because they were never that way for you. I don't recommend wasting energy putting that on yourself.
I'm not buying Riviera. Not because I'm protesting (which is exactly what I was doing initially), but because I don't like the increased risk I would assume buying direct. After a few new resorts coming online over the next several years, those concerns may prove to be overblown; in which case, I'll re-evaluate. At this point, Disney is not going to change their resale policy, people will continue to line up around the block to buy the newest thing, and I'm no longer going to delude myself into believing that I could move the needle with my piddly $35,000 abstention.
There are people who remember flying coach and being treated like royalty. Warm snacks, hot meals, decent legroom and blankets were all included with the purchase of a ticket. Now if you want that experience, you have to buy a first/business class seat. And people who buy coach expect to be nickel and dimed for snacks, food, extra legroom, blankets, etc. This is the new reality for any flyer. I don't imagine a lot of people are still protesting the removal of meals or loss of legroom. It is what it is. Today, you buy to fly from point A to point B.
If you buy a Disney timeshare to enjoy it, can treat it as a sunk cost, and can afford to keep it without adding undue stress on your family, you'll likely find a lot of success (and years of happiness) owning at Riviera by way of Disney's first class boarding pass.
