I’m sure you don’t actually understand how this functions but the reason that products aren’t really available on storefronts anymore is because they’re sold on Amazon.
I have somehow avoided Amazon all these years. It’s easy for me, nothing I require is connected to Amazon.
I’m sure there are aspects of the business that I can’t avoid that I don’t even know I’m being dragged into, but I don’t spend my money with them.
Anytime I can’t find something somewhere else, I just move on and forget about it.
The only times I’ve ever been bummed about it is when I’m working on some small project and the parts are half the price on Amazon. Most recently, it was parts for an arcade machine.
If I’m being inconvenienced, I don’t even know it.
I walked away originally when they acquired cdnow.com. I last visited the site when it began redirecting to Amazon.
I haven’t given a god damn dime to amazon since 2020, ever since I learned about the piss bottles. I’ve asked (and assisted) others to do the same. What else do you expect someone to do? Speak for yourself asshole.
Amazon have how many data centers and they wanna be building more? Greedy cunts
We could simply stop using amazon services and they won’t be build anymore.
Yup, just takes a single person!
I don’t use AWS! Are all the data centers gone yet?
How do you know that this instance isn’t running on AWS?
Any link that you click on which takes you to an external website has a large probability of taking you to an AWS datacenter.
I assumed they meant “stop giving Amazon money” because “stop using the internet entirely” is a such a ridiculous suggestion
Clearly I need to pull myself up by my bootstraps and checks notes change how large portions of the Internet get their compute.
I’m gonna use up all the fresh water just popping down to the data center for some AWS compute time, as a treat.

We created a monster.

I’ve boycotted Amazon completely for 25 years, ever since their 1 click patent bullshit. It’s not that hard to do, but people are lazy and cheap.

Ah yes, just stop using the internet.
