These sites are not really representative of the average European person, who will continue to use American and Chinese etc. products because they are cheaper or better quality than local alternatives.

The real European alternatives need to be better products, full stop, than the competition. And there certainly are many - personally I really like Allegro more than Amazon. But I use it because it’s better, not because I’m trying to make a political statement.

And this have to be known, most importantly. Even within Europe, marketing of European products is limited compared to US or Chinese Marketing budget.

That was indeed my point.

So really what we have with this post (on an American website) is just blatant performative nonsense.
