    Yes. Immediately after the fiscal quarter ends, giving them plenty of time to make up for it when everyone who put it off for a week just buys it the next week. Because that's when it'll hurt, not right before they have to report numbers.

        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.

          Take the plunge and cut them out completely. After I stopped using Amazon I realized it is just like a drug, wasted money on useless things because they want you to consume more and more.

              Still more praxis than this comment.

              At least it's something.

                How do you get people who can't see themselves boycotting indefinitely? You get them used to it by getting them on board to boycott for a fixed length of time. Ideally, as they warm up to the idea, you get them to boycott for longer.

                I have ordered from them line 5 or 6 times, subscribed for a year because I wanted to watch a series by terry Pratchett, and never again interacted with it in the past 8 years or so. You are not boycotting food or water or oxygen.

                  You know all the twitch streamers hate this.

                  I'm participating in this on principle, but mostly on bankruptness.

                    I’m boycotting Amazon and other stores from now on. If these billionaires and Russian assets want a war, they’ll feel it where it hurts the most—their wallets!

                      Convincing your employer to reduce AWS costs, or better yet, go with a different cloud provider would likely have more financial impact than boycotting the portion of the company that represents a smaller percentage of their operating profit.

                          The problem of boycotting Amazon for over a year now is that I can't participate in collective actions like this one.

                            Me too. I'm from europe and it wasn't a big deal for me to avoid Amazon.

                                  I deleted all my amazon accounts a few weeks ago, and have no plans to go back. When I order things now, I'll just order through the vendor instead of Amazon, I can live with it taking longer or costing a bit more.

                                    You just listed things that you can pick up at any number of local stores. That stupid convenience of ordering crap instead of just adding it to the shopping list is why people think going a week without using Amazon will "disrupt the system." This is exactly the problem.

                                    Yes but when I live 40 miles from a city and hate wandering around multiple stores looking for things they may or may not have. But I know I need to change.

                                      I get where you're coming from, but just like with the single day, people have to start somewhere.

                                      These events can help people break habits and find alternatives without something as big as "never again".
