Would be better to plan this a little farther out but I am already on a permanent boycott so I support this obviously.

Already canceled my subscription renewal due to Bezos’ prior shenanigans. Unfortunately, still have it until June. But, I don’t plan to use any of it.
Mine ended last month. Don’t miss it.

Yeah, I haven’t used it in a few weeks and haven’t missed it either. I had stopped watching any of their streaming once they started that ads bullshit.
Same, 1337x is right there, why would hand them extra revenue on top of everything I was already sending them? Now they get nothing.

I already don’t use Amazon and I think I might actually have them at a net loss as I used to say things didn’t arrive back when they would do anything to make you happy.
Upvoted because everybody should stop using Amazon.

A whole 7 days??? Gosh gee willakers!!! You think people can uphold a boycott a whole 7 days???
Look. Boycotts are effective, but you gotta be stubborn. It's gotta be "boycott from now on" with no end date.
Otherwise, it'll just look like normal fluctuations in their business.
"Oh, this week was slightly down....ah, but then it stopped. We're good!"
But if you boycott forever, then their numbers continuously go down. And if you get other people boycotting, those numbers go down faster.
THAT'S how you make an impact.

Lol, this is the first one that I'm mildly inconvenienced by participating in. Wheel of Time S3 comes out somewhere in there doesn't it?
I can wait.

In 1995 we boycotted Shell for environmental reasons and it worked: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brent_Spar
Towing of the platform to its final position began on 11 June. By this time, the call for a boycott of Shell products was being heeded across much of continental northern Europe, damaging Shell's profitability as well as brand image. [...]
On 20 June, Shell had decided that their position was no longer tenable, and withdrew their plan to sink the Brent Spar [...]
So it needed few days more than week of concerted action to bring big business into trouble.

With a few exceptions, I haven't bought from Amazon in more than a decade. I never buy from them unless I absolutely can't find the thing I need anywhere else.

Nice. Yeah, I like to think I have had them at a loss since the early 2000s when they sent me a $600 DVD player/writer instead of the $300 DVD player that I ordered. I tried to do the honest thing and send it back (knew i had no legal obligation) but the process at the time was so annoying that i just kept it.

Remember to send them an email and let them know you're boycotting them. They don't have to know how long you've been doing it.

I boycott Amazon years ago already, when a warehouse of people died because employees were told that the government's tornado warning was just hyperbole.
Amazon is an evil company that treats its workers like garbage, and practices some of the most vile anti-union practices.
I cancelled my Amazon Prime account and never bought a single item through Amazon anymore. I don't buy anything from Temu either, by the way.
