I've been boycotting Amazon since the days when they were an ugly data grabbing bookstore and I'll happily go on until the end of time.
Just avoid everything GAFAM. They were already capitalist bitches, now they're fascist capitalist bitches.

Let’s keep this up!! We all save money and they lose money!
I am at a weird-feeling place at the moment. I got too comfortable buying things from Amazon, so my brain doesn't know how to shop now. But I canceled my Prime soon after the inauguration, and I'm thinking I need to delete my account all together to kind of force myself to start working on using alternatives.
Do it! Many have already deleted their accounts, including me, and the only thing that has really changed is that delivery takes a bit longer.
I applaud it, really. Maybe it won't disrupt the system but it's a first darn step changing habits. This is the opposite of inactivity, of laissez-faire, of "eh we can't change anything anyway."
I wish all of you good luck and I hope for those who do change their habits by joining an Amazon boycot the drive to keep going.
I've only briefly looked at the comments and my, what party poopers. Small sacrifices are still sacrifices.
Yes. Immediately after the fiscal quarter ends, giving them plenty of time to make up for it when everyone who put it off for a week just buys it the next week. Because that's when it'll hurt, not right before they have to report numbers.
You know all the twitch streamers hate this.
I'm participating in this on principle, but mostly on bankruptness.
