TikTok has been long gone for me. I’m checking out Skylight (backed by Mark Cuban) and veering away from Instagram. Still in its infancy-hoping for more fresh salad content and less rage-baiting.

From his podcast, these are the main objectives: “Articulate the objectives, forcing the president to end the occupation of cities by masked agents, respect the rule of law, and uphold American values.”

Main reason Microsoft went down was slightly different: too much of their future revenue depends on a company they don’t control. The Luddite approach has always favored those are already rich, like yourself. If Amazon is not available for you, your staff will deliver to you anything you wish

I don’t live near a Costco and so use Amazon for large quantities. That stops today and thanks for your attention to this important detail in civil activism. I have always used my pocket to express my concerns- as small as that might be and much to the chagrin of many friends. Thank you

I unsubscribed to Prime since Jan. 2025. Other than YT, I've never been on FB/other social media platforms. Now that Larry Ellison is co-owner of Tik Tok. I'm wondering 🤔...is it not worth adding Tik-Tok to your list? Even tho some Tik-Tok smarties are leaving on their own, due to censorship ❌

Appreciate the time and do believe every little bit makes a difference. I got addicted to unsubscribing a couple months ago starting with streaming services. Win win

Truly believe that all these small actions are starting to gain momentum and make a difference. We must do more than unsubscribe, though; we must move away from all their tech. Your browser, email and search are a good place to start. Let's keep up the support for smaller & more ethical companies

It’s harder to change the world than it is to run it. What you are trying to do here is the best of all pursuits. You like to say we don’t always sit under the shade of the trees we plant. Well, you also never know what seeds get planted when you encourage people to open their imaginations.

I admire you Scott but this is fantasy. The ONLY way to disrupt big tech is through REGULATION. We have UNELECTED megalomaniac billionaires completely disrupting our society, with potentially devastating consequences, with ZERO guardrails in place. 90 million Americans didn't vote in '24. FOCUS!

It would require organized consumerism as a political tool wielded by the masses and actual representation of the citizenry in Congress. The oligarchs won the last election. I love the sentiment from you Prof, but you've been to Davos.... They already won the game.

Unsubscribing from Prime is a good start, but Amazon makes its money from AWS. No amount of consumer changes will impact that. Only the govt has the scale to impact Big Tech. FTC needs to step up and break these monopolies.

How about also ensuring better targeting than just 'boycott big tech', as thats way too nebulous. Let's try 'Cancel your Amazon Prime account and send that money to your favorite former fed running (like Chuck4MD.com for example)' Targeted boycotts with a place to direct the outcome could work.

Okay last post. What does a strike lead to? KPI for this is what? Define that and it has a better chance of success. You know this. So please set a metric. The market tanking gets attention. Then what needs to happen?

Gonna post multiple times here as I know you read the comments. (Okay maybe like 3x I’m lazy) but define what a strike is intended to achieve. Is it defunding? Is it no masks? This doesn’t get traction without a clear outcome.

What is the objective? None of this works without a clear objective. What is that? Define it and people will follow. Right now it’s just ‘resist’. Not striking until I know exactly what we want to achieve. Onboard with a clear objective. What is that?

I am 100% behind this strategy! I hope people will unsubscribe - see the Tech Cos. listed. Hit them where it hurts! It’s our only real power. Each dollar is a ballot. Cast your vote wisely! Do it a week, a month. Reset! Also, take action to protect voting! Check out Democracy Docket to see how!

Home Depot and Lowe’s sending their customers license plate information to databases accessible to ICE is news to me. They say it’s to target syndicated retail theft operations. In any event, Red Devil Hardware could use my business anyway.

Actively working on this. In the process of unsubscribing from Amazon Prime Music, but need to access Prof G Markets on Deezer. Pivot and Prof G Podcast on Deezer, but need Prof G Markets....is that in the works?

I sent this link to 30 friends. They, in turn, sent to their friends with the message to pass it on. One of my acquaintances, a physician, said he sent to 47 contacts and got a tremendous response. Resistance isn’t always on the streets it can also be behind a keyboard.

Resist and unsubscribe!! And to be honest, if you're not living in Trumpistan and are from the civilized part of the western world, you should be ashamed of yourself if you still buy anything from the US. Money is the only language they understand. #BoycottUSA

For those who don't know, this man on MSNBC said he didn't want tax cuts because he had so much money he didn't know what to do with it. That was during the first administration of the pedophile. I wish all millionaires were as decent as this man.

My household unsubscribed tonight to: Kindle, Audible, Netflix, Youtube Premium, ChatGPT Plus, Microsoft 365, Prime Video ad-less, an Amazon Prime account, Apple TV, Apple Music. We will not purchase anything on Amazon for at least the month of February. No Spotify, no WashPo.

Scott, I ask the following with complete sincerity, would you consider a WH run in ‘28? Your clarity, convictions, integrity and intellect check the boxes we desperately need at the top.
