I think I might cancel. I’m not watching ads and I’m not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don’t know if I’d end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though…

    Yes black Friday. But that’s a shitshow in all imaginable ways anyway, besides that its not that bad.

    And yes i “support” it until i can find some else that can supply me small quantities of very specific things for a reasonable price in short time.

    I don’t like Amazon, but they aren’t the worst either. Also, you use their stuff as well, Amazon isn’t just the web-shop, its also server hosting and other IT solutions, most stuff you use has some Amazon In it.

      Yes I’m forced to used Amazon because AWS hosts a lot of the internet. I literally have no choice. If I had a choice I would avoid it.

      But I don’t contribute to their horrible work conditions in their warehouses. And it’s disingenuous to say the protest is only about Black Friday. The protests were on Black Friday because that’s when it would have the biggest impact on Amazon.

      Too bad that people always let small personal inconveniences get in the way of human rights.
