EA need to make some decent games so I cannot buy their games on principal, rather than not buying their games because I don't care.
Any company without a strong union.
Vanguard and Blackrock. Their retirement fund allow them to have a significant share of major companies when compared to individuals
This isn't an ideological boycott, this is stuff I avoid bc it's not great.
ATT (I get better cell service in a subway than I do in my house and I'm on it because my MVNO switched from T-Mobile to att) HP (worlds shittiest hinges) Comcast, Spectrum (parents have comcast, it sucks. My friends have Spectrum, it also sucks)
I literally do not boy have enough time in the day to type all of them. There's just so many that are awful.
Every company here deserves some sort of corporate death penalty where the CEOs face consequences and the company becomes worker owned and operated.

I do not buy from bp, and I only buy from Walmart if there's literally no other option. My go to department store is Target or whatever local store has what I need, usually it is the former is Walmart is the reason why Mom and Pop stores don't really exist anymore unless they fulfill a very specific niche.
My local Walmart does not get any of my business, if I go in, it's probably just to visit the Checkers renting store space from Walmart

Boycotts aren't going to kill a company. They are to influence them.
I did boycott ChikFilA when it came out they were supporting homophobic asshats. And once they announced they were dropping those charities, I stopped boycotting.
I use CVS over Walgreens as long as I can get my prescriptions at CVS due to Walgreens stances against women's health. If Walgreens ever cleans up, I would happily use them more often because they are more convenient and inexpensive for me.
I only go to Shell gas stations as a last resort because they blast ads at you while pumping gas.
Did they ever really stop? Honest question, because I've heard it go back and forth a lot
