This is a world where giving money to a company is an inherently political act, even if you do not know it to be. Each dollar spent at Amazon is a tacit endorsement of its business, labor, and greater economic practices, and for one to detail why they choose to stop supporting a business is to enumerate the practices and side-effects of that business's existence that they find problematic or harmful.

This is meant to spark discussion of the thought process behind consciously decoupling from a specific product, not to look for kudos or get patted on the back.
