    I still maintain my boycott of Amazon over the one-click patent.

    It’s a hassle to buy stuff online without using Amazon. The patent expired years ago. Probably no other person is still boycotting them over it (not that it was ever an effective boycott in the first place). But I just can’t bring myself to buy from them.

      I still try to boycott Amazon, for a myriad of reasons. I don’t think you’re stupid for doing it!

      I have a consistent disdain for Amazon, but I still buy from them periodically, particularly stuff that I cannot find locally and which I cannot wait for typical shipping from another source. But I cancelled prime to disincentivize buying from them.
