I can only speak for myself and some of my friends and some neighbors but I have been moving back to brick-and-mortar businesses for a while now as have some in my circle. The only thing I semi-depend on that is not in the US is email and I keep backup servers ready to swing DNS should that provider go sideways. This has not been anything to do with AI or other recent events but rather watching the internet lean progressively harder into corporate capture for a few decades now and also watching governments go soft on businesses that operate too cavalier with sensitive data. My mistrust actually started to grow in the late 90's after fighting the department of defense on DNA gathering. It grew more when I worked for a wireless phone provider, then exponentially more when I worked in tech. I can not trust businesses to not stab me in the back so now I almost exclusively do business with people I can see face to face. Even with brick and mortar I limit myself to small companies that are avoiding getting involved in social and political issues. I want my bankers to be grumpy no-BS goblins straight out of Gringotts. I do still occasionally buy non critical things on Amazon that the local stores don't carry. That's bit me a few times as well and with time I will distance myself from Amazon. I've just been stocking up on some things locals don't carry in the event that global trade gets Wibbly Wobbly.
