With all of the sketchy products Amazon has and their bad practices, I’m really considering getting rid of Amazon. The only thing I will really miss is the fast shipping.
My reasoning is that I don’t use Prime benefits outside of shipping because I don’t play live service games anymore, and lots of local stores price match.
For those of you who have ditched Amazon(or not), what’s your reasoning and advice?
Any input is appreciated, thank you.
I didltched amazon for multiple reasons.
The horrible working conditions of the people that actually package and ship the products I purchased, the anti-competitive nature of their platform, and the insane amount of shit that you find combined with the impossibility of searching or browsing their website for any product whatsoever.
I still have to use it for work because it’s the only one that our corporate overseers have approved and I fucking hate it.
It’s impossible to have any amount of ethics and shop online any more.
It’s also very fucking difficult to shop in person and have ethics.
It’s nearly impossible to have ethics and exist in America.
Fuck
Stop using things that you know are unethical, then you will have nothing. Suddenly, new options previously invisible to you start showing up.
This (the ethical bit) is the premise of The Good Place.
