      Yeah but it’s trendy now and will be for two or maybe even three whole days.

        2 or 3 days won’t even register on a weekly report if people buy the products that they didn’t buy after the 3 days.

        Just quit using them altogether. It is inconvenient and it is more expensive but making a stand should have a price. Otherwise it would have been just a sensible decision.

          That’s exactly how I feel. I don’t use amazon and beyond a 6 month blip during covid never have. It’s incredibly inconvenient so a great way to reduce my consumption.

      Yeah, like, I canceled Prime nearly a year ago now and just shop elsewhere. I only buy from companies with shitty policies like these if there’s no other realistic option (e.g. when something is only available on Amazon :/).

        I checked a local store that said they closed their doors to the public and online orders only. Ok, I thought. I’ll just order what I want and swing by. No. The order link sent me to Amazon and they only do it through them. Not even will-call it turns out. I gave up and figured I can live without it anyway.

          There was a specific CPU cooler that was only sold through Amazon. Wasn’t at my local computer store or any other online retailers.

            Ah, thank you. I never use Amazon and I was just curious what kind of things would only be available there. A computer part makes sense.

            It’s not like you’d buy a CPU part constantly, but I’m kind of bummed that we don’t have more seller options for things like this.
