There's so much about this era of internet that makes me sad but its...also not my entire life. It can't be.

okay I'll take it

In case you're curious, companies I don't buy from personally:

Amazon
X
Google
Coca-Cola
Nestlé
Chick-fil-a
Target
Disney
Working toward cutting out Meta stuff

There are others, but these are the biggest names. Not buying from these has been completely manageable and, at worst, a minor inconvenience.

I'm saying this because these big "no-buy" days are largely ineffective. Singular, targeted boycotting is demonstrably more effective and more sustainable too. I've been boycotting Amazon since, like, 2016 and it's had 0 effect on my life.

And that's not to say I've never messed up, either! I spent literal years buying Perrier on roadtrips before I realized they were owned by Nestlé. I get that this shit is hard, but it's worth trying.
