As for not buying shitty products, returning them when you realise how shitty they are, cancelling contracts when services turn shitty, etc. Yes, do that.

It’s true you can’t really control who uses AWS and you’ll end up on sites that use it, but it’s so easy to not buy anything from Amazon directly.
Their shipping services aren’t even that good any more from what I hear (I haven’t bought from them in years).
