Many commenter's here saying they cannot avoid Amazon. I am not here to deny their reality, but I have a different story

I have avoided Amazon since ~2004 when I accidentally bought two box sets (double clicked) and there was no way to undo one. Clearly a Dark Pattern. Fuckers

I have succeeded. I always find another source for everything (mostly books, some small electronics).

I am not in the USA, I am in the South Pacific, a long way away however you measure it (except we speak English, mostly, here too). I have to wonder if that is a reason? Yet we use the same Internet

I started avoiding Amazon because they dishonestly ripped me off 20 years ago. I would start to avoid them today because they are evil
