Personally I just wish this had legal consequences for real people, because ultimately someone makes those decisions.
Avoiding a single company might be viable, but constantly keeping track of who (and their brands) should be avoided imo is not the solution, but a bandaid fix.
Yeah I can be hard to track all of them. Tracking Amazon isn't though.
The large majority of amazon profit comes from AWS. AWS accounts for around 3.5% of the entire internet. It’s also at least a third of all cloud computing.
It might be nearly impossible to avoid giving amazon your dollar if you are online.
Maybe you can't avoid AWS, but at least get rid of Amazon Prime.
While wishing in one hand, you can do something real, and never knowingly give them a cent in the other hand.
