So the tax evasion, worker abuses and militant anti-unionisation weren't enough! I often see comments like this, and I truly wonder if anything would prevent people from using Amazon. I don't want to criticise you specifically — it's so easy to say you would switch but becoming increasingly difficult to do. And motivated cognition is really a thing.

Tax evasion, worker abuses, and anti-unionization all happen far away from me and require some kind of SJW attitude to motivate change. I don’t see these things, they don’t impact me directly, so it’s no wonder they don’t factor into my decision making as much as things things that are actually happening in my home. Alexa advertising to me, becoming a nuisance, and coopting my internet connection all happen close to me. I ordered two HomePod Minis to replace the Echo Dots in my home yesterday. Amazon will no longer have a foothold in my home, and won’t have visibility into my shopping list or other usage.
