shplane@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How Do You Go About Buying Stuff Online While Avoiding Amazon?English1·23 days agoYour previous comment said you’re still doing them a favor by searching even if you don’t buy. If all they do is put ads on their site for your searches, then no, you’re not doing them any favors by just searching. If they were selling your data or processing it to use in other ways like market research or investments, then sure. Amazon only needs like four percent of their staff to run the site and push suggested purchases, there’s not a lot to it. Processing data is a very different beast when it comes to research and investments.

I understand why the other years are shown but why 1990? Just a random choice or did something happen that year that I’m forgetting?
People don’t see it that way though, least of all an idiot like Trump who will brag like it’s an honor
