    I’ll just continue never using Amazon like I always have.

    These kinds of boycotts seem so silly and performative while doing absolutely nothing for the cause you’re trying to promote.

    Like sure I get maybe you’re trying to get people interested in boycotts as a starter but if they can’t even not use Amazon for longer than 7 days, I don’t see much hope for that kind of person doing any other kind of meaningful boycott.

    Lol, this is the first one that I’m mildly inconvenienced by participating in. Wheel of Time S3 comes out somewhere in there doesn’t it?

    I can wait.

    That’s not a boycott. That’s waiting until payday to shop.

    There needs to be a succinct way to say “Never shop Amazon again if possible. If you absolutely have no other option, don’t do it March 7-14.”

    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.
