Why do companies do this?

There's been a huge rise of SJW social media interns. Amazon had that one making fun of customers and telling them to cancel. They even got a short url to mock them one final time.
These larger companies can do this because they have large parts of the market. With the socialist lockdowns and subsequent wealth transfer, they feel invincible. They have our money, will get our money, and will be present when alternatives die out and will take the rest of our money then.
Yeah, but Amazon makes sense. Realistically, a boycott of Amazon is almost impossible, if not fully.
This company isn't anything special. They'll 100% hurt from this, no way they get away with it.
Amazon is ridiculously easy to boycott. Looking at Gymshark, it grew from social media from the same kind of leftist base who would love this kind of posts. Amazon has grown from normies. Their consumer bases aren't just in the physical products.
I'm sure the gym lockdowns produced more women wearing Fashion Nova and Gymshark recording themselves doing squats at home and drinking cannabis smoothies.
I tried, it really isn't. It's easy to not use Prime or whatever, but some things are too niche to be listed in regular stores.
Ebay and China stuff, which is what Amazon usually has anyway. If you say it's almost impossible to boycott Chinese goods, I would agree, but Amazon is not the producer or sole seller of these goods.
Ebay and Alibaba are way more likely to get you scammed though. At least with Amazon they try to limit that. You are also getting better shipping through Amazon than basically anywhere else.
Although buying online from places like Walmart and Best Buy are decent as well.
Also Abebooks.com
Not just that but the massive government contracts means that your tax money is going to keep them afloat whether you like it or not.
And don't even get started on the bailouts that would come if Amazon was actually in trouble...
I canceled my Prime, Storecard, and entire Amazon Account.
Almost everything I've bought off Newegg, was just transhipped by the buyer getting it off Amazon.
You haven't boycotted Amazon. No one has. It's literally impossible.
That wouldn't even be worth trying. Many Chinese goods don't even have to be labeled.
Still, China doesn't have a membership. I may not be able to actually avoid buying things from Amazon indirectly, but I don't pay them a membership anymore. And I don't have their card. Or prop up their services.
Quit Twitch.
fuck, did not notice that.
Quality has gone downhill noticeably, depending on the product.
How does you using Newegg mean I haven't boycotted Amazon?
Almost every company on earth uses supplies from Amazon. Many retailers are just reselling things they bought on Amazon.
You think you're not buying things from Amazon. But unless you're not buying anything at all, you're still buying things from Amazon.
Why? Sears, Roebuck were the Amazon of their day. There's no reason a competitor can't do what Amazon is doing.
Because only a massive change in technology will topple Amazon. Those companies reached obsolescence when online shopping became commonplace.
actually in UK they are. Their custonef service is the best, although that has a lot to do with how terrible customer service in the UK is in general.
John Lewis Partnership and Sky were the worst I've ever put up with.
link please?

Oh, it's a British company. I guess they're used to bending over for people who pretend to be oppressed.
because management courses and advisors tell them diversity boosts profits despitethere being no evidence.
And yes I am aware of studies that supposeely prove this but when you look at the details they are bs.
There was a study in the most prestigious medical journal that HCQ didn't help Xi's disease but was retracted when not politically useful anymore. Even real science journals aren't trustworthy.
Us global warming deniers have known that for a decade or more.
If you add more points to your data set and it doesn't change the arithmetic mean or slope of the line, it's tolerable (you can get prettier graphs, at least), but as soon as you add "model-derived estimates" and it changes the outcome, you've polluted your data set and stopped engaging in science.
I don't count climate shit as real science. Anything beyond hurricane forecasting is straight up crystal gazing, and even that is an art.
Don't know of a single leftist that goes to the gym.
I knew of one. He thought Brexiteers would attack him. Complete fucking moron.
That's why I go there daily.
Because no amount of potential profit beats owning someone on Twitter.
Sonic Twitter Guy can't be everywhere at once
Because this has nothing to do with black lives or gays or whatever and everything to do with appealing to the sentiments of basic, middle-class moms.
What you expect from a fitness company that uses overweight models.
why do companies do this? do what?
downvoted because no fucking context, what did gymshark do to lose police officers!
