I disagree. Even if just YOU boycott and no one else does. The boycott does something. Even if you don't believe in it, step aside and push the train forward while it passes you. Don't create friction.
I agree with the principal of personal boycotts, though not effective in doing anything to affect the companies that you are boycotting, are necessary. But OP is right. For instance I have been boycotting Chick-fil-A for the last 10 years because I don't agree with their homophobic attitude. But it has zero effect on their bottom line because no one else boycotts them or even cares. I think the kesson is that you should not expect any kind of real outcome from your personal boycott of a company. You should just be satisfied that you are not personally supporting that company.

Amazon boycott March 7th through forever. There's no need to give them an end date. Our action is completely toothless when we literally spell out for them exactly when we'll come crawling back start giving them money again.

Boycott March 7th-14th. Amazon makes record sales on March 15th. Great job. High fives all around. That will show them. /s

Amazon is just so convenient, it's hard to say no. If I need new socks, I can press one button and somebody brings it to my front door in a couple hours at a cheap price. Alternative? Order them somewhere else online and get them in a week or drive 20 minutes, deal with parking + crowds to get them a couple dollars more expensive.
It's a crap situation but I understand how Amazon got so big.

I appreciate your feedback. Moving more local is definitely a goal. I buy a lot of specialized books which I can’t find at small bookshops so I tend to gravitate to larger companies.
All that being said, I’m going to downvote your comment because I can find no credible sources that supports your claim that Amazon owns Barnes & Nobel. I’d be happy to change my mind if you provide sources, but I dislike misinformation.
