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.
Doing my boycott for the half a year already and at best are uszally small things like tea bags because that type is nowhere I have seen yet.
You know all the twitch streamers hate this.
I'm participating in this on principle, but mostly on bankruptness.
Yes. Immediately after the fiscal quarter ends, giving them plenty of time to make up for it when everyone who put it off for a week just buys it the next week. Because that's when it'll hurt, not right before they have to report numbers.

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.
I haven't heard about any impact last Fridays boycott had. Anyone got any numbers or info at all on it? FTR I did my part.
One day boycotts will never have any impact. A lot of their money comes from prime. Prime cancelling is what they care about.
Because only five people care
