Yes. I got rid of Amazon almost 2 months ago in favour of buying things l actually NEED locally instead of impulse buying on that Nazi site. It keeps the $$ in my community and helps good hard working people, instead of billionaire traitors. I thought it would be hard but I have not been bothered at all. It’s nice to get out and talking to people instead of just sitting at a keyboard being persuaded I needed some Chinese manufactured junk because it was cheap and somebody would bring it to me. I wish i had the $$ I wasted on useless junk from Amazon. I got rid of my Amazon’s Prime and Stack Tv through prime. Again, not an issue at all. I deleted my FB about 2 months ago too, and what a breath of fresh air it was to get away from what had become a right wing propaganda hellhole. I am refusing to support sites that spew propaganda because the owners have made some satanic pact with evil itself, felon 47. I want to support people who actually PAY TAXES on the money they make, so it circulates back into the economy, not some greedy parasite hoarding billions so they can send their blow up doll girlfriends on vanity flights into space. I’ve j reached my limit of tolerating the greed and excessive consumerism we have been brainwashed to accept by the people living high off the hog on our money, and giving back absolutely nothing.

Great to hear! I think in the beguinings of online commerce, Amazon was more relevant because they were the goldpost of e-commerce. But now this is no longer true. There are thousands of great online shops and they are super reliable too.

The only thing I like(d) about Amazon was next day delivery convenience. Since Bozoz 🤡 I mean Bezos and his fiancé or whatever the fuck she is benefits the most I can do with that one convenience. It’s a matter of principle.

Great article! I am currently writing a similar one on why to boycott Facebook/Meta. Now we really have seen the power of OUR money and it’s time to take that power away from those pieces of 💩

I’ve heard estimates that 20% of Americans are interested in the boycott strategy. When I look at how much money I’ve spent on Amazon in the past, through CC, Prime and plain purchases it is mind blowing. Now zero, nothing, zilch. Man, that’s got to hurt.

I feel you!! Just even deleting the app off my phone last month was life changing. It was truly addicting and for no good reason. Focusing on my local stores and networks now for as much as we can! Oh and Costco.. can’t leave Costco.

The Amazon boycott is a rejection of not only Amazon but the entire monopoly system we have become so accustomed to. Something has got to change.

I LOVE Costco for upholding their values and so do other people! It is showing in their numbers and I hope that they soar with this and Walmart, Target & Amazon fail miserably.

I'm trying with Amazon but finding I'm just exchanging one tyrant for another. I have this digestive supplement I give to my cat. I can buy it at pet smart but it's 10 dollars more expensive and I'm really tired of being asked to donate to pet charities by a multi billion dollar corporation and often say so, folks look at me like I've got two heads and three eyes when I do. So I went to the local pet store. It's even more expensive there and the store supports Trump...I live in Noems state of SD. So yeah.

I use Chewy.com, mainly so I don't have to go thru Amazon. Sorry if Chewy is part of this oligarchy crap. I love my pets...

I left it on Jan 21. I don’t want to give that asshat any more of our money. I was even able to find our dog’s medication cheaper on a different website!

The same here. I find it way more interesting to see new online shops, and the buying experience is more diverse and interesting. We have become so accustomed to buying from Amazon as if it's the only choice. It's time to change all of that and help the world in the process.

I think it stems from Covid. Amazon was a saving grace for us all and now he’s turned into the typical POS billionaire that doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He may have been that way before…who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bezos at one time was a good guy according to Kara Swisher who worked in tech world along Bezos, Zuckerberg and others. Once his wealth grew he started to change and his complete downfa was in his support of Trump. I have canceled Amazon. Musk lost 122 billion over Tesla. Bezos will take a financial hit over the canceling of Amazon subscriptions. There was life before Amazon and there will be life after Amazon.

I paid Amazon off 2 months ago, am boycotting forever! I was going to cut up my card but decided it would work better as a pot scraper on my Marijuana tray! Don't hate...this isnt the 60's & 70's. Peace ya'all ✌️

Yes, it's a nice thick and heavy card, well suited for pot scraping.
