The no spending/not buying from amazon is hilarious. Not only will people in general not do it, even if they see a dip in profits, they'll have record profits the next day.
I don’t understand why people just can’t stop buying shit form Amazon. At some point a few years back, I had had enough. I stopped buying stuff from Amazon. I…didn’t think it was that hard. If anything, I’ll browse Amazon for something vague I’m looking for, find it, search the company names and buy it direct.
Amazon is just straight up bad. I have to be super desperate to buy something from there. Even when it was "good" i mainly used it to find something and compare it, and read reviews. If you do that now, you're an insane person. Amazon video or what it's called is really really bad. They show a lot of shows that you have to click on, to tell you that it's not available in your region. It would be hilarious to just stop using amazon and see Jeffrey losing his shit. But not gonna happen.
Yeah, now all of the reviews are bought and paid for anyway. So it’s not even good for that anymore. I really wish people could put in literally the smallest amount of effort to change bad habits. It’s crazy that people just seem addicted to it
Amazon is what I use when the original company doesn't ship to me but I still want their product. Used it like a year ago for a Tribit speaker.
Took over a week to take my payment out which was wild. If ive been through the purchase process the money should already be gone like it is for literally every single other online transaction I have ever done in my entire life.
As a Canadian, I and many others have been boycotting Amazon for over a month.
I wonder if ya'll read this before you post. Its a display of unity. Its a warning.
