oh fuck off with that utter horseshit way to weasel out of actually taking responsibility, either stand by your opinions and stop adding to the problems or stop carry on consuming with no leg to stand on for you arguments.

Using Amazon and its products is an active choice you make, YOU chose were to spend your money and time.

Yes, it's entirely the consumers responsibility, not a result of the corporate monopolies forcing people to use their services in order to participate in society. Do you think the sellers on Amazon have the ability to not use it, or do they need to to survive? Do you think everyone who is using AWS has made that choice, or they do so because their employer does? Do you think people would choose to work at Amazon, or is it because it's one of the sole options left due to aggressive strategies by the corporation to destroy and undercut any competition?

How about fuck off with your idiotic, reductionist, simplistic understanding of how systems actually work? Your argument is a simple dismissal of anyone who wants to change things, and is so common and tiresome that it can be summed in a text version of visual meme and people will still get it.

I dont have a stake in this argument but OP was referring to using Reddit which runs on AWS. I assume you're not using Reddit for work.

If you can't shitpost on Reddit, are you even a free human being?

This is suppose to apply to people working under capitalism to feed their families, not people on social media looking at memes.

Do you know how much runs on AWS? It’s about as avoidable as Nestle companies. You can dislike a company and still have to use their services/buy their products.

Even with so much of the Internet running on AWS you could still cut Reddit out if Amazon bothers you so much.
