Canceled my Amazon subscriptions.

I use the cart as my wish list and buy directly from the vendor later.

Canceled Prime and deleted account. Even stopped using Goodreads and switched to StoryGraph. For goods I just buy locally or direct from the manufacturer. For books I started using bookshop.org and thriftbooks. Switched from Audible to Libro.fm for audiobooks. Fuck Bezos.
