I feel the question is if I can still use the authoritarian #deatheconomyfeeder platforms without me helping them profit from my engagement. For example, I won't click on many story links, like WAPO and NYT, and I haven't ordered anything on amaciazon for probably 5 years.

I havent used gmail in years either, and prefer paying for a quality, secure email client than g(ulag) mail.

I also almost never directly share link, preferring to copy and paste and often delete redirect data from the links too if they get copied!

Sure these efforts have essentially zero impact on those companies. But I sleep better at night knowing my karma (actions) are not too entangled with these monstrosities.

If journalists want to click on Wapo, go for it. I will wait and let you all tell me about their latest sordid authoritarian project.

The reason MZ can still post a profit from failing business earnings is because his company is subsidized by usgov banana republic opaque funds, just like Bezos!
