Apple for their poisonous followership.

Canon for being assholes.

Microsoft for their shitty products that only survive due to the mass they have acquired during the years running largely unchecked.

Facebook/Meta/Twitterx/Tesla: see Apple.

Crowdstrike
Microsoft

Honestly.. Google Play.. someone re-gifted my son a $20 Google Play card a few years ago, and I tried to buy something for him and realised the card was about 2weeks out of date, and after about 10 back and forwards with support, they wouldn’t honour it.. a trillion dollar company. I get it, but their cold indifference just seemed mean

EA got my account stolen with 1200+ hours of playtime via fraudulent support tickets. That's why, I am not touching anything EA's involved with ever when they absolutely suck at account security.

Apple

Amazon: I avoid them because of worker abuse and union busting. While prime shipping is convenient, planning around not having it comes pretty naturally. Just plan as if it’s not an option at all. This does require good internet search skills to find sites that sell what you’re looking for, but I can’t express how worth it the work is to get better quality products.

Starbucks: I avoid them because of union busting. I make most of my coffee and tea at home, it’s cheaper and better anyway. Otherwise, I go to a local cafe. My area has a lot of them, but even if yours doesn’t, try asking around.

Many store-brand foods because they're made with half garbage.

HP - their printers and subscription models pissed me off so much that I want nothing to do with them.

Apple - 'nuff said

Apple

LG, Nestlé, Coke-Cola, Amazon, TikTok, Temu, any big brand bank, ASUS, Johnson Outdoors brands (jetboil, scuba pro)

Edit:forgot Tyson foods and Hormel. Their fucking over chicken farmers.

McDonald's.

I'm not much into fast food but if I'm craving a burger and chips I'll get it from a pub.

KwikFit fucked me over once 15 years ago and I'm never going back.

Apple is BS for losers.

Someone driving a Tesla I can't help but think of them sucking off Musk whilst being ass fucked.

Dollar, Hertz and Thrifty car rental. Also Budget, but for different reasons.

Never use Dollar, Hertz or Thrifty under any circumstances unless you want to be fucked. Never prepay with Budget unless you want to be fucked.

HiSense - they make appliances and they're junk

All bottled water - no one needs them and it's plastic that's here forever

Temu - disposable shit

Bath and Body Works - the creators of microbeads (plastic) hand soap

Teflon - poisoned my town's water

Chick-fil-A - evangelist food, no thanks

Chic fil a, Tesla, Apple

Nestle

HP

Apple

Tesla

There are more but those are the first that came to mind that I don't have to go dig up a list.

Dell Microsoft Roku Sony Briggs & Stratton Duracell

All of the above companies have failed me for the Last. Time. Admiral Piet. We're done.

I try to avoid all the brands that still work in russia because I don't want to fund the terrorist state

Apple & Meta. I try to boycott Amazon in lieu of other online sellers but I don't always succeed. All non-union Starbucks. The latter is the one that has impacted my life the most because I used to spend my days studying at Starbucks. I Struggle to focus and concentrate on formal work of any kind while at home. We do have two unionized locations in town. They usually don't have any sitting room left, though because they are so close to the university campus.

Friggin' Spirit Airlines!

Sony

Amazon

Coca cola

Google , except android.

Nestlé

I avoid Nemix RAM, because the first time I bought a bunch of sticks from them, they had an 18% failure rate. I paid to ship the bad sticks back, and they sent me more bad sticks. Nemix said they worked fine, so I sent them the Memtest screenshot with all the errors. They didn’t want to pay shipping to replace them again, so I just returned them and got some Micron RAM, and it’s been working perfectly.
