just delete your amazon account tbh. even past the boycott. Fuck it. Go to stores. don’t go on IMDB go on Wikipedia or watch a movie’s extra features (which are usually much more in depth and are probably on YouTube/putlocker). Fuck audible, go to a bookstore. I really think Amazon and it’s subsidiaries have thrived because Americans live for convenience and quickness. Would you rather live conveniently or ethically?
p.s. libby does everything audible does and more 100% free of charge with a library card
I agree w the Amazon boycott, but ppl should be aware that a chuck of the physical infastructure is owned by Amazon. Their servers host millions of websites – this is actually how they make the majority of profits. I recommend reading Kashmir Hill’s piece on how blocking Amazon is nearly immpossible to get a full idea of their scope.
yes, kashmir’s article “I Tried to Block Amazon From My Life. It Was Impossible” is excellent journalism and required reading, as is her whole series on trying to live without the “big five” of apple, microsoft, facebook, google, and amazon.
