Someone on TDW had a good idea to give Amazon the finger: figure out what the FREE-returns policy is for your local Amazon, order something (sold by Amazon directly and not a 3rd party) and return it.
How is it going to take an hour? Find out what's got free returns (probably the most time intensive part), order it, print a return label and drop it off when you pass a post office the next time.
It's also going to cost Amazon a lot more. On top of the shipping costs both ways, there's packaging and handling and more importantly restocking the item. If you're lucky it gets sent to Amazon's "Warehouse" where it'll get sold at a discount or they'll even liquidate it for pennies on the dollar (they do that with a lot of returns apparently).
If even a fraction of the people who complain about Amazon here, on TDW, Parler, Gab, Twitter, etc did that it would have a considerable impact.
If you've got a better way to fight back against Amazon in this cold civil war I'd like to hear it.

While BLM gets themselves 5 finger discounts at Amazon stores despite Amazon cucking to them.
Quaint.
The problem with this plan is that an hour of my time is worth more than the $5 amazon loses to do this.
