  Fortunately, you don’t get to decide that. Contrary to popular sentiment on HN, Amazon is one of the most favorably perceived brand by Americans, ranked top 4 in 2020. When you go against Amazon, you go against something that Americans like more than Netflix.

    > When you go against Amazon, you go against something that Americans like more than Netflix. That just gives more reason to go against, there's quite a few Western comforts that could use a bit more opposition, Amazon being one of them. You're making the case that it is virtuous to be aligned with popular sentiments on issues, which is a position that dissolves any ethical or political principles in the name of conformity.
