Amazon boycott March 7th through forever. There’s no need to give them an end date. Our action is completely toothless when we literally spell out for them exactly when we’ll come crawling back start giving them money again.
I have been boycotting them for the last 7 years. I’ll gladly participate with this one for: indefinitely
Awesome. Do you still buy online from other billion dollar companies or have you been able to go all local? I’m having a hard time getting past the convenience and cheapness they are able to provide. I have cut back a huge amount though since Covid where I never wanted to leave home to purchase things I need for home.
If possible I try to buy from local farmer markets (if my schedule lines up). Clothes I usually buy second hand or they’re merch to support creators I like. But if it comes to gas for my car geting something from a not billion dollar corp. is impossible. Games and game consoles are usually bought via steam or physical from the store. So I’d say it’s a work in progress, as most things are.
Forgoing the convinience isn’t easy, even gotta look at the purchase and decide if it’ll be used frequently or just a use and throw
Just stop using them entirely. Delete your account. It’s not that hard.
Don’t just boycott stop using it all together. I haven’t used it since 2014 and have never had the need.
I figured out my new Ubiquity firewall can block Amazon and Amazon video with a few clicks. Added bonus that the tv was sending GBs of data that way, without us using the app.
Easily done, I already avoid them.
Been doing that since November. Found better, cheaper options locally.
Corporations don’t react as much as you’d think to 1 week interruptions in revenue numbers unfortunately as they are beholden to shareholders and shareholders react to quarterly earnings report. To truly send a message it would need to boycott from Q1 to Q2, basically Jan-April or even May.
Canceled Prime weeks ago and done with Amazon. Unsubscribed to all US websites. We always prefered to buy locally, but would occasionally jump the fence. No more jumping. If it’s not either local, made in Canada, or Product of Canada, we’re doing without.
I completely ditched amazon - private and for my company. there are so many other options, slightly less convenient admittedly, but also slightly cheaper. works for me!
Amazon is just so convenient, it’s hard to say no. If I need new socks, I can press one button and somebody brings it to my front door in a couple hours at a cheap price. Alternative? Order them somewhere else online and get them in a week or drive 20 minutes, deal with parking + crowds to get them a couple dollars more expensive.
It’s a crap situation but I understand how Amazon got so big.
Yes do all of your purchases on the 6th and then on the 15th that’ll really show them!!!
Fucking stupid …
Amazon also got a shit ton of power from AWS
We can only control what we can control
Just avoid everything GAFAM. They were already capitalist bitches, now they’re fascist capitalist bitches.
You added another descriptive word. They fucking felt that comrade. They won’t recover this time
Found the guy who didn’t vote lol. Keep being a little bitch, meanwhile we’ll keep fighting for you, loser. https://stacker.com/stories/business-economy/major-boycotts-changed-history
😆
You had to Google that instead of just telling me.
You think this is a “major boycott” like any of those. Ok. I’ll come back the day after and check. Every year there are 4 or 5 of these. Remember the one where everyone showed up at a some fucked off port and blocked trucks but didn’t have any plan when the trucks didn’t stop
Let’s keep this up!! We all save money and they lose money!
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.
Boycotts are useless.
Unorganized boycotts with no demands and no pressure from labor unions are useless. Boycotts in support of labor are absolutely class solidarity.
This one is useless. As most “reddit” boycotts are.
The right killed dei solely using boycotts
No. DEI was always performative. Companies realized that they no longer had to pretend to care so they stopped doing performative “DEI training” because it was no longer beneficial to their bottom line.
It had nothing to do with people shooting cans of Bud Light. It had everything to do with the entire country shifting further with right wing reactionary beliefs.
Yes it was always performative but it was systemically targeted and dismantled by Robbie Starbuck (and his ilk) using boycotts (edit: and harassment) campaigns.
