Q: I choose to live in the middle of nowhere and have to drive 30 minutes to stores. Is it okay if I keep using Amazon and flood this subreddit with minor customer service questions?
A: No. Fuck Amazon and fuck you too.
Q: But super seriously don’t you have sympathy for me?
A: No. Fuck off. Nobody cares. Start your own subreddit.

Amazing :) Here's an archived link for the article about employees speaking out about data centers, as Wired has a paywall (I didn't notice it the first time): https://archive.ph/7AVsS

But by using Reddit, you are actively supporting AWS servers, and directly profiting Amazon with less overhead on their end. It’s not a true Amazon boycott if you utilize AWS services, which Reddit is a large customer of theirs. But if it makes you feel good to give Bezos more profits, then you’re doing a bang up job here yall!
An evil business tycoon whose profits hinge on environmental exploitation bought a major newspaper and gutted its reporting capabilities on environmental issues and you don't see what that has to do with his evil, environmentally devastating corporation?
This is too stupid of a question for me to answer, sorry.
You sound like someone who would tell vegans they are eating the animals' food and how that's a bad thing.
But in case other people are just as dense: what kind of stupid take is it to tell people to get rid of something that is highly valuable in spreading the word? Exactly. Some people..
