"I typed in YamzWorld into the Amazon app and lo and behold there were all my products there with my pictures from my website as well," Montes-Tarazas said.

While he receives payment for sales, Montes-Tarazas said the arrangement strips away his ability to build direct customer relationships.

"I do get the sale and I do get the money, but customers never get to interact with my website, they have no ability to sign up for my mailing list. They have no idea who I am as an artist or what I stand for," Montes-Tarazas said.

Anyone still giving money to these antihuman organizations are complicit.

There was a time when all my shopping would be on Amazon with Prime. I was spending £200+ a month on Amazon. Over a year ago I decided I didn't want to give Bezos my money anymore. It wasn't difficult at all to switch. It's not difficult to buy direct from seller's websites. Amazon has made this easier by flooding their site with nonsense brands+sellers+nonsense reviews. Ditch Amazon today. You may be surprised with how easy it is.
