"why would I not order on Amazon and save myself $50?"

Because of principles?

It seems that in the past 20 years the concept of boycotting a company in response to their behaviour has been lost.

The last widespread boycott I remember was from the late 2000s against Sony, I can't even remember why ( rootkits on CDs? ) but I'm still boycotting them now as it's an automatic reaction.

Unfortunately not many people have principles which overcome the desire for convenience. I stick to my principles hard, so much so I will happily go without convenience items, but I very rarely meet anyone else who does.

		I need a rag to wipe up the condescension this post is dripping all over my monitor.

oh please. where do you stop boycotting? can you name a few companies that aligns with your principles? I feel like every major company I deal with has skeletons in its closet. if i were to start boycotting companies, i'll have a hard time getting anything done.

		Better to have no morals or principles than have any, as I always say! /s Every company is going to have competitors that would love your business over these major companies. Pick your battles and do your best. It's only hard because the status quo is designed to be stupidly easy.
