  • Does boycotting Amazon mean boycotting every business that transacts with them? I suspect that is nearly impossible.

  • My point was clearly facetious, but isn't AWS the most profitable part if their business these days (probably not, but I picked that up somewhere) and that list indicates how difficult it would be to boycott everyone who uses it...

    But yeah, don't buy stuff from them if you can get elsewhere. Sometimes the delivery service they offer does mean they're the only viable option. Sadly.

  • Given that stuff like Companies House uses it I'd say it probably is impossible.
