I have one outstanding order that is already out for delivery. Once I get that, I’m closing my amazon account. I’m done. Buy nothing. Vote with your wallet. Edit: account is closed. get bent Bozos.

    Oh yeah, by all means, stop using all Amazon related services, then realize that about 50% of web services for banking, agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, telecommunications, research and development, industry, transportation, healthcare and energy are hosted on AWS

    “Oh but my service is hosted on GCP”

    Yeah and what do you think is the fallback in case of DRP?

      I mean we can all do our small part. 🤷‍♂️ Something is better than nothing.

      Yes AWS is the standard for most of the internet, but do you think Amazon won’t notice if a whole bunch of users en masse decide to stop buying things from their warehouses?

        Oh the users win DEFINITELY notice when the second order effects of pulling out of current infraestructure without a plan just for dubious ideological reasons start to manifest

          What?

          Did you ever live in a world before Amazon? People still shipped goods and went shopping

      They have much more built out offerings, but smaller hosting providers and on-premise are always an option regardless. Obviously not including “Azure”.

          Good then that loads never change, growth never happens, users never drop off your platform, demand is always the same and everything related to users is never dynamic, but static as fuck

            Yes. That is exactly what some B2B customers want. You can still grow month to month, and adapt your onprem infrastructure accordingly.

            Obviously this approach is extremely dependent on the underlying use case and business model. Unlikely to be suitable for B2C.
