Agreed. I’ve canceled Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, PayPal, and all my main stream news apps. It’s small but have to start someplace. Amazon was the hardest for me.

Please try Etsy and also visit any local shops you have. Maybe it's a quilt store, or a small gallery. You might find you need quilts and art instead of whatever is in your Amazon cart. You might start quilting or painting even.
Amazon and Audible were hard, but necessary. Also dropped Instagram and PayPal. Had no news apps. Added World Kitchen, ACLU, and upped our contribution to NPR. We have to do this. It’s hard, but feels better afterwards.
How did you replace Amazon? I can train myself to not expect same day delivery (that’s dumb anyway) but between free shipping, lower prices, 5% cash back credit card… it’s hard to come anywhere close…
