chupacabra's brain dump

"Your Request To Close Your Amazon Account Has Been Confirmed".

Dear guys and gals, and everything in between and outside of it,

It is with pleasure that I announce that I just deleted my Amazon Account after many many years with it (10 maybe?).

To be honest, many things happen with Amazon that I've ignored because they don't directly affect me but, though the multiple scams I was a victim to in this platform made me think about the decision, ultimately all the other horrible stuff helped me take the final step.

Millenia we've lived with no Amazon, why do we need it now?
We don't, we believe it is convenient, but it makes you waste money on stuff you don't need by using their algorithmic shady practices. I started by spending a month without buying from Amazon. I saved a lot that month. Then I bought stuff I didn't need. Then I felt bad, and now I'm here.

We certainly don't need to buy so much stuff, we own too much, and the world is bleeding because of this. We put stuff in the thrash as it seems like it disappears from existence, but it does not. It goes somewhere, it stays somewhere. Recycled? Maybe a part of it. But the rest of the things you owned and no longer do and you put in the trash, is laying on a field somewhere. We need to be more conscious of the things we buy, the causes we support, the things we do everyday, not only for a fulfilling life, but so that we don't take fulfillment from others.

Have a nice night :D
