The scariest part of Amazon is the move to engulf food and health care.

I believe that Amazon should be able to exist, but that it is far too big and controlling, therefore customers must trim it down to a reasonable size.

Lots of Amazon sellers have their own sites, and will make a lot more if you buy directly from them.

Good for you. Much easier to quit when you never started. ;-)

I have quit Amazon as much as possible. As you said, there are certain things that you can't get anywhere else (or they are MUCH more expensive). I'm buying books from independent bookstores. I'm buying my vitamins and supplements from CVS (who has stood up to the push to stop supporting causes I care about). It's hard, but it can be done.

For me, it’s inconvenient; for some people, it’s probably much more challenging. However, for me to stay there after watching the video would be condoning the evil. Appreciate your actions.

Yep; “I wish I knew how to quit you” comes to mind.
