Implicit demands are for mob bosses and boat owners. If you're threatening a corporation you need to be clear and direct.

We are boycotting Amazon products until they stop be bad

More

We are boycotting Amazon products until they make another season of The Expanse

Or whatever. Clear, concrete, demands.

That boycott had a demand attached, to prevent the sinking of the Brent Spar buoy. Effectively "unlimited" boycott until Shell gave into the demand.

This and the last no shop Friday thing seem mostly pointless. I mean fuck Amazon for sure but shouldn't there be some goal? "Boycott Amazon until X, Y, and Z" not "No buy from Amazon for a week but then we'll be back so no worries!"

My car is the same. I know the current state of the infotainment based on what is entering my ears. I also know the location of the physical controls and how they alter that state without taking my eyes off the road. Non-touch screens and physical controls is fine.
