But also fuck bell. And fuck Rogers.
Products and services that rely on exploitation, and those that come from countries involved in human rights violations (Israel, China, USA, Russia, Saudi to name a few). You bet your ass I buy almost nothing XD, just local food and used clothes from private individuals, sometimes thrift stores if they are local and don't violate the first rule.
I boycott Twitter and Instagram and Reddit, Starbucks, most of the US save for New York state because of the politics, Kellogg's, and, Loblaws grocery stores. Those are just off the top of my head. I should honestly boycott more.
I would love to end reddit boicot.
But the reddit app font is just to tiny for me use, and you can't change it without changing your whole phone font. I tried red reader but it is so ugly I can't use it.
So here I am, still boicoting reddit. I suppose it's not even a boicot anymore. I just don't like the product anymore.
AMD, for the last 17 years. I had an ATI card and it broke so I needed to RMA it but thats when AMD bought them out & the RMA'd card failed as well, within 48 hours - so I RMA'd again and again, same issue. RMA'd again and again, same issue. tossed the card & started using only Nvidia and have never had an issue since. fuck AMD.
cant think of anything I actively boycott, though I do avoid products that have overly enthusiastic marketing campaigns.
Dating myself. Coca-Cola. New coke saga. Hit me at the exact point of developing a social consciousness. The absolute mercenary method of screwing around with their products.
In and Out for banning mask usage at their stores in CA.
Keep in mind I live in California so it's kind of everywhere. And tasty. And cheap.
But it aint right, let your employees wear a mask of they need to or want to.
Oh chik fil a too but that's been going on for like... over ten years? I almost forgot they existed, with their overcooked chicken.
Streaming services in general. I haven't watched a single TV series for almost a decade.
