What’s good about Amazon anyway? It’s better to get stuff directly from a sellers site, even better if they’re indie. There’s not much value to prime shipping anymore, most sellers are pretty good about it now ironically because of Amazon. Using services like Amazon just creates more pollution, wage depression and small business closures. Use services like Amazon less, favor indie and small and fair wage businesses
The hardest part to combat is laziness. Amazon is a one stop shop. Personally I don't care to shop online much anymore but when I do I'm always using direct websites for the companies since I know what I'm looking for.
Also something scary to think about, They could lose most of their customers and still thrive because of how much money they have already pulled in.
