Carl's Jr. because of that awful sexualized man campaign. Awful ad campaigns also for Dove, Axe, Jimmy John's and Jersey Mike's. I'm sure there are others I'm not remembering at the moment.

Burger King and Chili's because of cavalier attitudes towards food poisoning.

McD's, Twitter, Susan G. Komen, commercialized fundraising of any kind, and Reddit for obvious reasons.

Lots of games I won't play and apps I won't download because of their ads.

Superstore/Loblaw's and really any and all big box grocery store in Canada. They fixed bread prices and are colloquially known as the "Bread Cartel".

The only one I truly boycott to that extent is Wal-Mart. It's just so incredibly easy. There's always another place to get the thing.

Same man, Walmart just makes me depressed if I need to go there.

Unfortunately my grandpa is dutch and wants me to pick things up for him there sometimes 🤣

(not only have none of these companies made any effort at improvement, they’ve consistently gotten worse as time goes by – remember one comedian commenting “the bar was on the ground and y’all brought shovels”)

I've never -and will never- give a dollar or any control over my networks to Cloudflare.

They temporarily disrupted KiwiFarms, the anti-trans forum. They also temporarily disrupted right-wing Daily Stormer.

Anything free speech should not rely on Cloudflare.

Several local (but national chain brand) furniture stores.

So many reasons. One had better quality furniture on display than what they sold by a long way. Another tried to give me not one but two firm mattresses instead of medium and lie to me about them. Yet another got caught out blatantly lieing to my face about delivery times and procedures.

All of them had great customer service right until the point that they had our money and then completely treated us like garbage afterwards.
