Comment on PayPal owns brands like Venmo, Honey and is heavily integrated into eBay - if you're looking to stop giving your money to bad companies, take a second to search their subsidiary brands as well.

AWS

You can choose a different service for your own hosting needs.

The same is true of PayPal. I’ve been banned for years (not sure why, maybe my account was compromised?), and it’s never been an issue, I just pick a different payment method. I use Venmo occasionally, but Zelle also works for most uses, or I can bring cash or a check.

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a situation where I only have a single payment option.

But you can’t pick what others use for hosting, and the majority of big corps use AWS. At least that’s the nudge that I think they were getting at.

  True, my point is to focus on things you can control.

Isn’t Venmo owned by PayPal?
