TFW when I rarely use Amazon anyway.
As an euro I also use it rarely but it just has unbeatable price and availability for products sometimes. The only alternative is aliexpress, which isn't a real alternative since China can go get fucked too.
I used to use amazon mainly if i looked for some item that i didn't even nnow existed, because their search function used to be pretty good. Or to get ratings on a product or whatever. I rarely ever bought something. Now all that is useless. No matter what you search, they show the sposored shit, and the ratings are stupid, most things are temu dropshippers.

I already started my boycott last month.
there are a few things i get on there mostly because i can't get them anywhere else but i don't think i've used amazon in a while - definitely not for christmas this year.

Because only five people care
