This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Amazon is just so convenient, it's hard to say no. If I need new socks, I can press one button and somebody brings it to my front door in a couple hours at a cheap price. Alternative? Order them somewhere else online and get them in a week or drive 20 minutes, deal with parking + crowds to get them a couple dollars more expensive.
It's a crap situation but I understand how Amazon got so big.
This is too weak and virtue oriented.
That said, I guess its better than nothing. Focusing on promoting alternatives however would probably be a little more effective. Amazon has a lot of weird niche products that I've struggled to find else where from trust-able sellers.
I’m boycotting Amazon and other stores from now on. If these billionaires and Russian assets want a war, they’ll feel it where it hurts the most—their wallets!
Late to the party but my subscription is officially cancelled in a couple days.
Yes do all of your purchases on the 6th and then on the 15th that'll really show them!!!
Fucking stupid ...
The economy has been helping me boycott for years now. Can't buy if you don't have disposable income.
Lol, this is the first one that I'm mildly inconvenienced by participating in. Wheel of Time S3 comes out somewhere in there doesn't it?
I can wait.
Never started buying from amazon. The stories on Reddit where enough to turn way. I admit having searched the site now and then, but you get the same prices elsewhere, Especially in Europe there is no need for them.
Recommendations: if you have any technical aptitude, get a vice, pliers, wirecutters, nylon cord, and several yards of fastener wire from a local hardware store. That can solve a very large number of minor accessory problems with ingenuity. Old-school prototyping can ween you Off buying smaller "specialized" products.
