I just received an email saying they are going to increase my monthly subscription or include adds.

So will they be doing daily op-eds about women’s right to life saving health care without government interference in the form of anti-abortion laws? Because I’d read those. Will they do op-eds about lack of female promotions to corp. boardrooms? About SB128 to disenfranchise women? Voting rights?

I never have and only used A minimally. My wife canceled w/ Prime and is also going to use A minimally.
We have aimed to buy local and small and will strive to do even better.

For example today I needed a book for a client. Instead of via A, I bought it through Portland’s famous Powell’s.

I don't think you should cancel prime, the fact that you are not in agreement of someone, doesn't make that you have to avoid that people or what they do, that is truly tolerance, because if we cancel, avoid or accuse everything we desagree, we will end alone

Dafuck are you on about, bud? We don’t want oligarchs. This isn’t Russia. And Bezos is one of many who is trying to be an oligarch, so the only way we the people can affect them is by not buying their products. How do you not understand that?…

Ah. And having a Prime subscription means you’re not alone? Is that what passes for human connection these days?

Cancelled mine last year, and walked away from audible this year

Should have done both, esp Audile a long time ago

Well, that's one Washington Post employee with principles. The fact that the rest haven't walked makes it clear they have none.

Dumped Amazon/Prime a few years ago and cancelled Prime Video in 2023. Never looked back! #boycottAmazon

Not just prime, but the whole Amazon account. Deleted mine a month or two ago. Buying local and telling family members to not get the kids or me Amazon gift cards for birthday and Christmas has broader impact.

meganabbott.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Me too, back in 2006 once I started publishing books and talked to so many bookstore owners and employees. But Prime's the cashcow and a great start.

alecf.bsky.social•11 hours ago

Yeah, it's definitely an easier ask. Fingers crossed people can hold out when the next season of The Boys arrives.

Bezos can't be so ignorant as not to understand that installing a dictator LITERALLY is the antithesis of a free market, right?? Retail, all arms of the entertainment industries & free press depend on the spending power of we the People. If we fall, they fall.

Amazon is too integral to our daily life. I would bet that hardly anyone will stop using it. WaPo? Sure. But not Amazon.

I live in a town of 4,500. We have Walmart, and North40. If I want clothes I shop on line. It will be hard to give up Acorn and Brit Box.

kpv60.bsky.social•3 hours ago

You can buy Acorn and Britbox as stand alone services.

witchybats.bsky.social•3 hours ago

I live in a town of only 4k, and we don't even have a chain grocery store. If I need clothes Im shit out of luck but sometimes dollar general has a shirt or something

I canceled my prime membership and do not order anything on Amazon a long time ago. You know there was a life without and before Amazon?????😂

theemarcfrancis.bsky.social•7 hours ago

It’s also fun to use Amazon to find the product you want/need and then put the company in a search engine, click on their website and buy directly from them.

I’ve been shopping ebook sales on Amazon and then buying from a price-matched competitor

Any decent alternatives to IMDbPro? I’d love to stop using all of his products. :(

You may try letterboxd. It's not imdb but still all about movies.

It is not as good as IMDB unfortunately, but not too bad.

I never had it. You need to pay extra for any good shows and I don't mind waiting an extra day for a package.

I have a bit of a different take on cancelling my Prime. I use it only for fresh groceries. This guy is never going to run out of money, but the people who work there will be the ones who suffer. I have had great delivery people who need their jobs for survival. They are the ones who will be hurt.

It's easy to feel powerless in the face of this global turmoil, but you do have power. Choose what you buy, how you buy it & what ads you expose yourself to. Abandon Amazon. Exfil from X. Forget Facebook. Trash Tesla. Hit them where it hurts, and keep hitting until they change!

redjye.bsky.social•4 hours ago

Thank you for posting this.

pinkdream.bsky.social•2 hours ago

People, you CAN quit Amazon! I have never purchased one single thing on that site because I’ve always hated Bezos. You will be fine!
