I completely degoogled and the one I had had was tied to that google account. Deamazoned as a consequence.

Honestly I wish I didn't. I don't have a google account. Don't have any Meta accounts. Don't have accounts for basically anything I'm not functionally REQUIRED to have (banking for example). But Amazon is hard to avoid. I do a lot of buying in person, but in person shopping is just horrible these days. You need to find something specific and you are screwed. I do try to find other places online to get something when I can but a lot of times I just have to fall back to amazon. Maybe part of it is just the area I'm in though. Tons of the more specialty stores here have closed down. We don't even have an electronics store anymore after Best Buy closed.

I have one collecting dust. I could delete it but it never gets used and they'll profile me anyway. Last purchase was in February 2020. I've always hated amazon because of where I grew up and other reasons, but seeing how warehouse workers were treated during the pandemic was the tipping point for me. Convenience is like a drug, and going cold turkey was pretty fucking hard honestly. But it's become easier over time. I will never give another red fucking cent to Borzo.

I don't got one but in the off chance I can only find it on amazon, I use another person's account

amazon is backbone service of the internet dude.
