I cancelled my prime membership. I'm going to look around for alternatives before I delete my account which I more than likely will be doing at this point.

the stock is already going down, do you think they’ll lose much revenue by this?
Have you checked how much cash they have in their coffers for rainy days 😄
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.
Because only five people care

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 bought anything from Amazon since Christmas anyway. I’ll probably cancel my subscription after this year. I’m already paid up for the year.
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.
There are things only sold on Amazon because that's where the global mass market is. Even though Amazon does not have a site for every individual country, which other shopping website deliveries to almost every single country? If you want to replace Amazon, spend $5 billion to develop a competitor.
I'm an idiot, I thought this was a March 😂
But this is still super not effective. How do people think this affects anything. It also is kind of ick too. If you have the energy and time you organize this, why not just shit post for a week instead. You'll get more mileage. The most effective thing is spreading a message. I have no idea what refusing to buy things for a day will do. You need to spread a message so this action can be sustain. It needs to be a new Zeitgeist. This "do this for a day" stuff acts more like a pressure relief. Like we all watch the day come and go and nothing changes then we go back to our lives. Instead, make content and posted outside our echo chambers at a level that moderation can't sustain. This is what the Republicans did. Get your message to the faces of people who fence sit
