Do you include companies within N degrees of Amazon? Netflix for example? If so, no. I could quit, but I wouldn’t.

Shopping? For the most part I have because of the pandemic. A lot of the stuff I ordered was pushed further and further out for shipping. So I found alternatives or started buying in brick and mortar stores.

Amazon has part-ownership of Netflix? Didn't know that...

Sorry. They don't have ownership. But Netflix runs the majority of their service on AWS. That's why I was asking about also breaking away from services that are N degrees away. I mean...I can stop using AWS directly, but if my Netflix money is still going to them indirectly, what have I really done to blunt AWS?

Could you clarify that Amazon owns Netflix? Best I can find is Netflix using AWS.

No, they don't. Netflix is hosed on AWS, though.
