    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.

      One day boycotts will never have any impact.

      The problem with boycotts like this, is they do essentially nothing… A single day, week, or even a full month of boycotts can only be successful if a critical mass of people do it at once. And frankly, they’re not going to get that.

      The people most likely to boycott Amazon and the like are people whom already don’t purchase things from Amazon, or lightly do it. Amazon if fine with that, because eventually people go back to buying. So what, they’re gonna post one bad quarter? Small price to pay for doing business.

      You can’t boycott evil businesses. You have to stop using them entirely. Forever. And most people simply aren’t willing to.

    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 covers for rainy days 😄

    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.

    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.

      WTF are you buying from Temu? Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer actual products, not literal garbage.

        Amazon stuff is totally not literal garbage
