I am working on this, and here are my personal observations thus far;
# Low hanging fruit:
- Food and clothes, like Coca Cola, Snickers, Nike, Levis, The North Face etc
- Mondelez. This is hard because they own so much. But obvious things like Oreo and Corn Flakes are easy.
- Social Media I rarely use. For me this was Snapchat, Instagram, WhatsApp, X, Bluesky and Messenger.
# Harder to ditch
- Facebook. Family :(
- Microsoft; Windows, VSCode, MS Teams, GitHub
- Google; Gmail is my primary for 15+ years, gDrive, gCalendar, google.com
- Amazon AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure.
- Streaming: YouTube, NetFlix, HBO and Disney+. This will be difficult.
- LLM, Claude and OpenAI-things
- Steam
- Discord
- My Tesla model Y.
# Impossible
- Smart Phone OS: Google Android or Apple iPhone/iOS
- Intel / AMD, hardware in general is difficult
So, this is all work in progress, but I keep this document in my Google Drive (gah!) and I'm adding more stuff every day and trying to shift my habbits.
- gizzlon 2y agoI would argue to that not all US companies are the same. Both ethically and based on risk. Tesla is directly supporting Elon, and IMO much worse than, say, Netflix. Also probably more risky, as Elon is probably more pilled that the CEO of Netflix and Google

- bambax 2y agoI think an important distinction is whether you send money to those providers or not. Using free services with a strong adblocker is probably a net loss for them. And regarding streaming... the high seas are very welcoming ;-) PS: Did you mean Mondelez? The only thing I ever bought on their list of brands[0] is 'Lu', but I will make sure I don't anymore ;-) [0] https://www.mondelezinternational.com/our-brands/ https://www.mondelezinternational.com/our-brands/
