On #Amazon, the flood of no-name merchandise sold by a non-stop parade of fly-by-night #ThirdPartySellers has driven out good quality products in many categories. Worse, I've noticed that this has spilled over to other retailers including Walmart, Target, and Staples.

Example? I'd like to buy some pencil grips for my child with a reasonable expectation they are non-toxic. I'd happily pay 2x for a reputable #BrandName, but there's none to be had.

Its great to see that the #ShopEthical website is again working speedily over #Tor #Privacy Browser.

For months every page request took about two minutes to load!

Next time you are out #shopping why not #search "shop ethical" and the #brandname you're about to buy? You may be shocked to learn the #environmental and societal #abuses that your dollar might be voting for.

There are almost always #ethical alternatives :)

@bootsy@cybre.space Not sure I agree a 100% (though, for the most part, I do). There are cases where a corporation/brand looking for and replying to people is useful. For example, if I ask a question, with a #BrandName hashtag, because I'm unaware of their presence on the fediverse, them replying I'd consider great, because I was looking for them. It wouldn't be completely "out of the blue", nor undesired. But yes, care must be taken not to become abusive.
