That's not a boycott. That's waiting until payday to shop.
There needs to be a succinct way to say "Never shop Amazon again if possible. If you absolutely have no other option, don't do it March 7-14."
I cancelled mine recently and will actively try to avoid using it. They also need competition.
It's never easy to go cold turkey. It's much easier to create lasting change after first trying things in smaller doses.
You don't have to go cold turkey. Just shop at websites that don't say "Amazon" in the URL
I'm not speaking for myself. I live a life that does not depend on Amazon at all. I'm just saying for those that have a hard time with letting go of habits that currently use Amazon, taking small steps gives chance for bigger steps that make a difference over time.
