Welp, I just closed my #Amazon account.

My first order with that service was on the 22nd of October 1999. I ordered a copy of the User Friendly comic book. At the time, I was living in a student home.

If you think it's because Jeff Bezos supports #fascism in the #USA, directly and indirectly with the #WashingtonPost, you'd be wrong.

I mean, those are great reasons for sure! But whatever moral strength I may possess, I am also a creature of convenience. I managed to get away from #Google ...

... some years ago, but reluctantly kept Amazon for the whole video streaming stuff.

Now they've managed to piss me off by blocking the account for a reason they're not even fully willing to explain (TL;DR).

But that's not the point.

The point is: turns out it wasn't so hard.

Turns out that it actually hurts a lot less than you'd think.

So, yeah, now I think I really should have closed the account for those reasons I mentioned above.

@povsuduvolosy Hey, friend. You might be joking. I'm not in a joking mood.

Your next reply will determine whether I block you. Let me know what it'll be.
