I’m in very rural Japan. I almost never buy from amazon anymore, but sometimes there is nowhere else without spending the equivalent of hundreds of dollars to get to Tokyo or somewhere and get back. Add 12+ hours of driving if it’s something big enough that I need my car (and all highways between us are toll roads). It’s been months since I bought anything from them, but it does occasionally happen.
Yep. I live in a very rural northern part of the US. It’s the same for me. If I don’t use amazon, I have no access to 3/4 of the things most of these people take for granted.

Don’t play into this deviding bullshit. The consumer does not hold enough power just through consumption.
You don’t need to explain yourself instead Talk about the structural problems that actually keep these businesses alive.
