PayPal owns brands like Venmo, Honey and is heavily integrated into eBay - if you're looking to stop giving your money to bad companies, take a second to search their subsidiary brands as well.

I have none of these in my house, many by conscious choice. It has made no difference in my life. I challenge everyone to do the same. It’s really not THAT hard.

Ah that's interesting, all the banks around me stopped issuing ATM cards and only issue debit cards nowadays. I wish I wasn't required to have a debit card with those banks - I purposely tell my banks to disable debit/POS features on the debit card so it is only functional at ATMs.
All that aside you should consider getting a credit card or a prepaid credit card for those types of transactions. It's safer to separate your bank account from your day-to-day payments/shopping, not great when someone gets access to your debit card which then gives them direct access to your bank account balance. At least with a credit card those situations are just a dispute that never affect your actual money in the bank.

Now you got me started on X...
While true, Musk is no fool and bought such a simple and recognizable domain back from PayPal in 2017 for an undisclosed amount.He's a successful businessman, no doubt. Problem is that billionaires are pulling up the ladders behind them as wealth inequality is increasing (power is concentrating).
Twitter was well-known to be infested with bots when Musk purchased it. Turns out, that made it more valuable to someone rich who wants to sway elections...
Shop local, use smaller local services (credit unions), drop services owned by or purchased by billionaires (Too busy ranting and I haven't actually read this article yet

I'd rather support a working farmer than an evil corporation

Hear, hear. It fucking sucks that we created these monsters. At least I did, for simply wanting to use eBay.

Nah. News... Uh, in an adjacent saga, billionaire Kanye West is selling swastika t-shirts. So that's where we're at with these people...

Any alternatives to PayPal?

Well obviously - me as well - but I'm being told by extremists here that any support for a Trump supporter makes me a Nazi, and I don't want to be one of those.

Yes, as long as they are not operating the vegetable farms in Europe I am rather safe I think

A lot of them, sure. Not all of them.

Fairly accurate.

And they print Nestlé on most, if not all, packaging. So it's easy to see.
Most of the brands I haven't even heard of, probably because I just don't buy that much processed food.So yes, avoiding Nestlé is easy if you are paying just a little bit of attention while shopping groceries.
-
That is only the main nestle products. They own so so many things that do not have the nestle brand name on them.

Depends on which function you want to replace?

Now apply that logic to voting. Your vote is a grain of sugar, yet it somehow does have an effect, doesn't it?

Maybe one of these options are good?
