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.

sounds easy considering I haven't bought anything from Amazon in years

The problem of boycotting Amazon for over a year now is that I can't participate in collective actions like this one.
Really you are ahead of the curve which is great!

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.
Good job

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".

Amazon stuff is totally not literal garbage
Correct, that's Temu.

Ooooooh 7 whole days???? That'll teach 'em. What is this, Whale Wars?

Wait until the last 2 weeks of the fiscal quarter instead of mid-cycle and the rebound bump won't show up on their quarterly earnings, which will fuck their stock value, which is the only thing that matters to them.

You can make a seven days long hunger strike and that is commendable.
But a previously delimited week not buying commodities you don't need from a particular company with literally thousands of alternatives, sounds just completely ridiculous.
You are not boycotting food production, or sewage, or drinking water... You are suggesting that a seven days strike in buying the Vaseline you will need from the retailer that creates that same need is kind of a revolutionary action.
¡From the people that is dismantling your state!
Your society (and I'm really sorry to tell you this crudely) is deeply sick, if you think this is somehow fierce.

That's not a boycott. That's waiting until payday to shop.
There needs to be a succinct way to say "Never shop Amazon again if possible. If you absolutely have no other option, don't do it March 7-14."
I cancelled mine recently and will actively try to avoid using it. They also need competition.

What have you been using to order RAM/disks/whatever?

We need to turn this into a cancellation party

True, but 7 days isn’t enough time for that. I’ve gone weeks between purchasing the kinds of things Amazon delivers, so it’d just be normal. 2+ months is probably better. Especially if those months are Nov & Dec.
