Keep your Prime Account but only use it for items you are most likely to return. As for Social Media, I struggle to understand the argument for being on it for anyone. I know, I know, reaching people. But as I understand it, the way the systems are set up everyone is preaching to their choir, aren't they?

My WAPO subscription was annual, and dies mid-February unless I renew it. Not that anyone cares, I'm watching and waiting. I take to heart the idea from JVL and others that the *reporting* of WAPO and NYT is important to support. We'll see.
I can't quit Amazon--or can't bring myself to. I live in a small southern city with extremely limited selection of EVERYTHING. Amazon became my lifeline in the 90s and flipping that switch would be an inconvenience--albeit survivable.
I've heeded JVL's notion that WAPO's reporting is worth preserving, but I only have it because it's cheap through Amazon Prime. I'm thinking of dropping it and moving to Apple News for not very much more, and supporting a LOT of legacy media, including some (large market) local newspapers.
WAPO crossed the line when they spiked Ann Telnaes' cartoon. It's one (bad enough) thing to not take an editorial position on an election. Something else entirely to silence an editorial voice.

One thing I've started doing is browsing on Amazon, and then looking up the source vendor and ordering from them. A lot of them offer free shipping.
I've been getting much of my news from The Guardian. I can read U.S. political news without a photo of that man on every single article.
Really. The endless phtos make me gag.
And it went on for years. You could see the handwriting on the wall. Article about Biden? Photo of T. Article about Jack Smith? Photo of T.
