But they already have your info and habits, that's all pretty easy to gather with ip logs and cookies. They want even more, and they want you to have to ask them to delete it
Amazon already knows everything about you from your buying habits, down to menstrual cycles and toilet cleaning. What's your favourite films on top of it?
(I hate Amazon, finally deleted my decades old IMDb account a while back. Now if only I could rid myself of Amazon... They've not fulfilled a single order for me correctly since 2020 so it's not even the ease that counts any more... One day!)
Almost anything you can find on Amazon, you can also find on Ebay. And sometimes Ebay is actually cheaper.
Do it now. You will not regret it. There are alternatives for everything. Including just doing less online shopping.
Preach! For sure, been cutting down as much as possible. It helps that prices are thru the roof and I don't need a lot.
I've always been a major thrifter, almost everything I own is second hand or hand me down, but I also happen to enjoy collecting, which is where the online element sometimes comes in.
Don't get me wrong, I've only ordered from Amazon less than a dozen times, never had Prime, and most of my purchases have always been local.
I honestly love that folks are trying to wean off the toxic teat that is US technocracy. I can jive with it.
That may well be so, but I have no intention of making things even easier for them.
