Prime? Cancelled.
Kindle unlimited? Cancelled.
Audible? Cancelled.
Twitch? Cancelled.
Not one cent from my wallet will ever be in Bezos’ hands again, from here on out.
Unfortunately, you are still making money for companies that then pay AWS with the money you give them. Not saying you shouldn’t do what you’re doing, but it’s basically impossible to escape Amazon entirely and use the internet now.
Every little bit helps though.
Yeah. I remember when the net was still pretty open with lots of small players still - and lots of giants trying to achieve dominance. Something like Netflix seems pretty cool until you don’t want to give Bezos money and find out that Netflix runs on AWS. Not sure about other streaming services.
I honestly don’t know what sites and services would work if AWS and a few other things (Akamai, Cloudflare) were cut out of the picture.
I’m over a year ahead of you. Dumped prime when they announced ad tier is default for streaming.
The downside is waiting 2-3 extra days for them to ship something you order, if you do order through amazon. They make sure to not release any order whatsoever without prime for days to entice you to bribe them for standard service.
It may be harder for some, but don’t order anything from Amazon either. Shop locally, if that’s still at all possible.
Good on you. Voting with your wallet is exactly what you should do in a free society.
Gotta cancel all of your account if youre at all serious. They keep your financial info if you dont
And not just cancel accounts, but also stop going to their website. They get ad revenue from each visit and if you buy anything from them, you’re still giving them money.
Just give them an old card
And block them when their email system spams you to fix it
