Yes. Immediately after the fiscal quarter ends, giving them plenty of time to make up for it when everyone who put it off for a week just buys it the next week. Because that's when it'll hurt, not right before they have to report numbers.

I haven't heard about any impact last Fridays boycott had. Anyone got any numbers or info at all on it? FTR I did my part.
Because only five people care

To give up the addiction to 1-click buy for a week? And you call this a protest?
the stock is already going down, do you think they’ll lose much revenue by this?
Have you checked how much cash they have in their coffers for rainy days 😄
There are things only sold on Amazon because that's where the global mass market is. Even though Amazon does not have a site for every individual country, which other shopping website deliveries to almost every single country? If you want to replace Amazon, spend $5 billion to develop a competitor.
TFW when I rarely use Amazon anyway.
As an euro I also use it rarely but it just has unbeatable price and availability for products sometimes. The only alternative is aliexpress, which isn't a real alternative since China can go get fucked too.
I used to use amazon mainly if i looked for some item that i didn't even nnow existed, because their search function used to be pretty good. Or to get ratings on a product or whatever. I rarely ever bought something. Now all that is useless. No matter what you search, they show the sposored shit, and the ratings are stupid, most things are temu dropshippers.
Id rather just forever boycott anything bezos related.
I haven’t bought anything from Amazon since Christmas anyway. I’ll probably cancel my subscription after this year. I’m already paid up for the year.
