This is great and all, but here's a bonus challenge: don't use Amazon ever fucking again!

Do it and you're cool!! Even though I haven't used it in awhile, I have the app downloaded. I'm going to uninstall it as soon as I post this comment.

Or use it as a product search engine, then go to the supplier or an alternate online store to buy the one you want. I don't have it on my phone but do go to it in browser occasionally for that.

Yeah that's basically all I used it for over the last year anyway. Any product on Amazon that isn't junk probably has it's own site in my experience

Amazon has the masses enthralled

But if I pay $20 a month I don't have to spend $15 on shipping!

Also tell them why you're boycotting them. That's an important step.
