So continue what a lot of us were already doing?
Yeah but it's trendy now and will be for two or maybe even three whole days.
2 or 3 days won't even register on a weekly report if people buy the products that they didn't buy after the 3 days.
Just quit using them altogether. It is inconvenient and it is more expensive but making a stand should have a price. Otherwise it would have been just a sensible decision.
Hey, remember when millions of people didn't buy anything for a single day in protest to show how much power they had and hurt the corporations in the wallets?
Remember the next day when millions of people then bought the stuff they waited a day for.
This is exactly it.
Over the last year I have changed many habits, even the way I cook, to not support these giant corps. I have always been anti-consumerous, but I've made drastic changes over the last few years to really reduce my shopping habits. It can be done. It takes a little effort at first but then you get used to it.
That's exactly how I feel. I don't use amazon and beyond a 6 month blip during covid never have. It's incredibly inconvenient so a great way to reduce my consumption.
Yeah, like, I canceled Prime nearly a year ago now and just shop elsewhere. I only buy from companies with shitty policies like these if there's no other realistic option (e.g. when something is only available on Amazon :/).
I checked a local store that said they closed their doors to the public and online orders only. Ok, I thought. I'll just order what I want and swing by. No. The order link sent me to Amazon and they only do it through them. Not even will-call it turns out. I gave up and figured I can live without it anyway.
Also, sail the high seas.
What's an example of something you would need that you can only get on Amazon? I'm just curious
There was a specific CPU cooler that was only sold through Amazon. Wasn't at my local computer store or any other online retailers.
Ah, thank you. I never use Amazon and I was just curious what kind of things would only be available there. A computer part makes sense.
It's not like you'd buy a CPU part constantly, but I'm kind of bummed that we don't have more seller options for things like this.
Yeah, I wasn't very happy that I had to use Amazon for it :/
