A boycott will be more effective if we laser-focus our efforts:
Focus on Amazon, Tesla (anything Musky), & Meta
Make the boycott permanent
As for me, I’ve done my part. I will never shop Amazon again, or purchase from any online store that uses Amazon for shipping, and all my Meta accounts have been permanently deleted. Done.
Why restrict it to a few days or a week “blackout” or whatever? That’s weak sauce. Everything you can find on Amazon, you can find elsewhere. Stop giving them money.
Well I explained why I was still using them. Buying something off of eBay that’s several hundred dollars and then not being able to return it if it shows up broken.
Not that I’m really disagreeing, I’m just explaining that there are things that make Amazon desirable for many folks.
I’m also right there with you with meta and x. I’ve deleted all of my meta socials, not that I was very active on them anyway. And I haven’t logged into Twitter since Musk took over.
That said, blanket economic blackouts, can also be effective. They can show business administrators that cow towing to The regime will cost them money. Wich can in turn put pressure on Washington.
Have you ever had a single issue on eBay where you bought something, complained, and eBay didn’t side with you? Even if you lie about the issue. eBay is notoriously difficult as a seller because they 100% always cater to the buyer and force you to accept returns.
It is true. eBay knows that it’s buyers who drive their site and will always make thing right with them. eBay isnt perfect by any means, but I’m realizing that perfect is the enemy of the good more and more often.
