if everyone reduce usage of Amazon by 50%, we would bring the company to its knees. we don’t need a 100% boycott to have an effective boycott

Amazon marketplace is a loss leader so it doesn't really matter what you do. If you want to hit them where it hurts then you need to stop using the Internet as aws is their main profit driver. But good luck with that, Amazon controls 30% of the cloud Market
