What are you going to do, not shop at Amazon? Avoid AWS?

Pretty easy to not shop at Amazon in my experience

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, but my point is that even if you stop buying from Amazon, it's a drop in the ocean of profits.

Not if a large number of people do it. As far as I know, a large number of people are dissatisfied with Amazon, Bezos, Trump and so on. Apathy is compliance and keeps the tills rolling.

Even if one succumbs to the hopelessness in thinking that resistance is futile, there is still some pleasure to be had from hitting them were it hurts, ie. the only thing they seem to care about - money. How ever small a hit they take from it.

Avoiding amazon is a fair bit easier than AWS. I barely know what websites use AWS
