Ironic that you say “grab a book”, when one of the largest booksellers in the world, putting all smaller booksellers out of business, is the thing we’re all railing against. Do you realize how much of a monopoly they have on all corners of the market? It’s not just “smart shit”.
I’ve been boycotting all amazon subsidiaries and affiliates for over a year now, so I’m not suggesting that we shouldn’t, but that’s easier said than done. This comment is displaying levels of ignorance to which I can only respond “gee thanks, I’m cured”.
In fact, several of my favorite authors have exclusive contracts with amazon, because it’s more financially viable for them.
I’d rather people got used to just going without instead. Grab a book, go outside under a tree. Read the book.
Cancel subscriptions, cancel memberships, cancel reoccuring costs. Buy food, and quality items. Stop buying ‘smart’ shit.
You need none of this junk. Stop feeding the machine. Make them hurt. We control ALL the power.

ETA: in fact, consider that, even if everyone with a prime subscription canceled right now, it would barely even impact their bottom line, because most of their entire revenue stream comes from AWS.
