Boycotting Brands
- Thread starter Randy
- Start date
Eh, depends on how you define boycotting. I don't buy Apple products because I don't like Apple as a company, but I wouldn't call that a boycott, per se, I'd say a boycott is stopping buying from someone...so...yes-ish? No-ish?
Absolutely. Speaking with your wallet and spreading the word for others to do the same speaks the language of those who own this capitalistic world we live in. The less money we give to businesses, the more they'll hurt.
I boycott brands which test on animals or are cruel in other ways to them and I also boycott companies who have no regard for human rights such as Amazon who treat their workers like dirt.
Is that who you're boycotting?
Not necessarily, but if I ever did, it would probably be that brand. There's a whole subreddit dedicated to it, surely that makes it a toxic company.
How GameStop is still in business is beyond me. Awful company!
Bad company, yes.

They have a history of awful tactics towards their customers and their staff, their margins are failing them, they sell open games as brand new, they give you pennies for games they turn around and sell for massive profits, they force their employees to manipulate customers into upsales, etc. There's a long, long list of issues when it comes to GameStop

Wow I didn't know about any of that. What a shady place.
Yeah, one business to stay clear of!
I think I've bought one game from them in the last 10 years.
Online order, went and picked it up. It was a gift.
lol, good, but let's try not to buy so frequently, ok? That's a little too much money you're forking over to them!I think I've bought one game from them in the last 10 years.

Actually it was only like $10 for the game. It was Ratchet and Clank, it was on sale for some reason.lol, good, but let's try not to buy so frequently, ok? That's a little too much money you're forking over to them!
