Good work! I cancelled my prime subscription and have not ordered anything from Amazon 2 months ago. When my current sub time ends in October I plan to also delete my account.

    I've been making a more conscious effort to avoid buying American ever since Trump got re-elected (both for reducing dependency or American tech firms, as well as not finanicially supporting a country with a fascist government) and Amazon was one of the easiest companies to cut out of my life.

    There's still plenty of alternative webstores in the Netherlands at least.

    Would you happen to have links to some of your favorites? I'd love to start cutting off Amazon, but that's going to be a journey.... I know it'll be worth it in the end though!

    That's what I did 8 month back. I still have an account but collect a cart then order once every other month or so.

    The level of pathetic spam to offer me to use prime again is desperate and borderline pitiful.

    Iโ€™ve just been buying direct from smaller shops, and local where I can. Itโ€™s an adjustment but doable.
