I've stopped using amazon as my one-stop shop years ago. I think the majority of the population has gotten too used to convenience over ethic's.

We need to turn this into a cancellation party

Let’s keep this up!! We all save money and they lose money!

This is great and all, but here's a bonus challenge: don't use Amazon ever fucking again!

Do it and you're cool!! Even though I haven't used it in awhile, I have the app downloaded. I'm going to uninstall it as soon as I post this comment.

Amazon.com could shut down at any point and Bezos wouldn't lose anything really. Most of the web runs on Amazon web services. You don't have to buy anything from them. If you're online, you're their product.

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

Take the plunge and cut them out completely. After I stopped using Amazon I realized it is just like a drug, wasted money on useless things because they want you to consume more and more.

Way ahead. I deleted my Amazon 😉

I deleted my account about a month ago.

Easy - I stopped using Amazon period.

How exactly will this disrupt the system?

Be nice if these sort of things linked to a committee that actually proposed a strategy.

Those fuckers stole my digital comics library. I already stopped using Twitch and I havent bought their shitty and useless Chinese made electronics in years. Fuck Nazis, fuck Amazon, fuck Google, Fuck Trump, Fuck Musk, Fuck America! (the last part I take away when you vote the Orange Fuck Face away!)

A whole week 😲

I week long boycott will do nothing. If that is the most you are prepared to inconvenience yourself to send a message, then just give up now.

Just delete your account already.

Convincing your employer to reduce AWS costs, or better yet, go with a different cloud provider would likely have more financial impact than boycotting the portion of the company that represents a smaller percentage of their operating profit.

easier to just cancel prime

I boycott Amazon years ago already, when a warehouse of people died because employees were told that the government's tornado warning was just hyperbole.

Amazon is an evil company that treats its workers like garbage, and practices some of the most vile anti-union practices.

I cancelled my Amazon Prime account and never bought a single item through Amazon anymore. I don't buy anything from Temu either, by the way.

Even people that use Amazon surely are most likely to not buy stuff in any typical week? I just stopped using it.

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.

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!
