A whole 7 days??? Gosh gee willakers!!! You think people can uphold a boycott a whole 7 days???

Look. Boycotts are effective, but you gotta be stubborn. It's gotta be "boycott from now on" with no end date.

Otherwise, it'll just look like normal fluctuations in their business.

"Oh, this week was slightly down....ah, but then it stopped. We're good!"

But if you boycott forever, then their numbers continuously go down. And if you get other people boycotting, those numbers go down faster.

THAT'S how you make an impact.

I already don’t use Amazon and I think I might actually have them at a net loss as I used to say things didn’t arrive back when they would do anything to make you happy.

Upvoted because everybody should stop using Amazon.

Already canceled my Prime subscription renewal due to Bezos’ prior shenanigans. Unfortunately, still have it until June. But, I don’t plan to use any of it.

Mine ended last month. Don’t miss it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I haven’t used it in a few weeks and haven’t missed it either. I had stopped watching any of their streaming once they started that ads bullshit.

Same, 1337x is right there, why would hand them extra revenue on top of everything I was already sending them? Now they get nothing and I still see the content

100% on board.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 2 months ago

Would be better to plan this a little farther out but I am already on a permanent boycott so I support this obviously.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's* time to disrupt

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

That fuck.... I was so confused with the title for a second.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 2 months ago (4 children)

LOL, I'm boycotting Amazon since 2007, at least. Good luck!
