Boycotting something is a good way of showing your principles and what you believe in. For example, in 1980, the USA didn’t send their athletes to the Summer Olympic Games in Moscow to show they don’t support the Soviets invading Afghanistan in 1979 and 60 other countries joined the boycott. 

This is a boycott on a huge scale that affected many parts of the world and went into history. But all of us have our own principles and morals that may lead us to refuse some things in our life. 

Bored Panda went to Reddit and found a couple of discussions where people were talking about what are the things they are boycotting till the day they die. Redditors came with some interesting answers and we compiled a list of the most intriguing answers. So enjoy and feel free to let us know your thoughts. Maybe there are things that are missing in this list? Sound them off in the comments. Also, don’t forget to upvote the answers you agree with the most.

Anything where animals are used for 'entertainment' for humans. E.g. donkeys having to have huge people sat on them whilst they traipse uphill. Makes my blood boil :(

Folks In This Online Community Are Boycotting These 40 Things, Brands And People Until The End Of Their Days Multi-level-marketing schemes. They’re s**t companies that attract s****y, and sometimes desperate people, and train them on how to profit off of their friends and families. They destroy lives and I refuse to support them.

btw Reddit is the reason I found out how predatory mlms are. The anti-mlm community, especially here on Reddit, has done a great job informing people who might otherwise be vulnerable to these schemes on what they really are

Watch the Loula Rich documentary on Amazon (not sure on spelling) the audacity of the company directors is astounding. Very interesting to see how they were able to build such a vast business, and how quickly the MLM collapsed. They were still millionaires tho when it collapsed and most of the people affected were never compensated or reimbursed. Owners of MLMs should be banned from starting new businesses and companies forever.

Folks In This Online Community Are Boycotting These 40 Things, Brands And People Until The End Of Their Days TikTok. Never used it, never will.

I remember when it was first introduced to the world with its horrendous clickbait, cringey advertising and marketing, really skin crawlingly cringey "singing and dancing" videos from questionably aged girls. People swore it'd never catch on, but those same people are the short-term-memory idiots fully buying into it now.

But it goes deeper than that. I hate TikTok because of what it's done to the other media sites, particularly Instagram. It's created a culture of sensationalist, narcissistic, egotistical behaviour, as that has become today's sell point. And as a result, Instagram for example have now tried to turn their own platform into TikTok v.2. I use Instagram for my mates, nothing more. I don't want f*****g reels thrown in my face all day, "celebs" talking s**t about products they never actually use, people making fake videos for views, clickbait thumbnails, sponsored ads at a ratio of 1:3 posts, and even a f*****g shop.

tl;dr: TikTok and today's online culture in general is cancer.

Just a reminder - Hitler started his political career calling all the news he didn't agree with "Fake News" (technically he called them the "Lying Press"). Then he blamed all the countries problems on a minority community of immigrants. Then came the policies whereby citizins could turn in other citizens for not being patriotic enough (hyperpatriotism). It's the fascist playbook.

"Another Forgettable Celebrity Profile!" "Are Your Arms Too Fat?" "Secrets of Makeup Artists!" "Dating Mistakes You Made this Month, Dumbass!" The same stuff, for decades. Source: I am old

Folks In This Online Community Are Boycotting These 40 Things, Brands And People Until The End Of Their Days I used to try and boycott amazon. Never ordered anything from them, didn’t go on sites like goodreads or IMDB, didn’t shop at stores they had shares in. Then I discovered AWS. Tried to run a custom script that would block any site hosted on AWS, but that made using the internet nearly impossible. The final nail in the boycott coffin was when I needed to use it for a web development class.

Now that Amazon has bought MGM, I’m not sure how anyone will ever be able to participate in society without filling Bezos’ pockets.

Back in '07 I worked at Trader Joe's and disliked being an employee there a lot; IMO they put way too much stress on employees. But here's a crazy idea: like this guy, the solution was for me to get another job. Some Trader Joe's, Walmart, Amazon and McD's employees DO like their jobs. So wouldn't boycotts of those cos. ruin many of those ordinary people's situations? SCOTUS has ruled that the 13th Am. prohibition on slavery means that employees always have a legal right to quit, and there's a lot of jobs out there. Right after TJ's I found a gig that paid less but was way more relaxed, where I mostly liked the job. I went there while the people who liked working at TJ's kept doing that. And I still shopped at TJ's and still do b/c I like their stuff. Everyone wins!

I once worked at Walmart for about six weeks. Never again. They were so disorganized and inefficient, and the job itself was insanely boring. Nor could I do it effectively, because in all that time they never got around to setting me up to be able to use the mobile scanner (I worked in the arts & crafts section). So, literally every time I needed to check someone out, I had to go hunt down a coworker who had a scanner. I went to pick up my final paycheck and the manager was like, "Do you still work here?" I hadn't come in for about two weeks.

Once they finally had the "OK" from the corporate office on the phone to release the funds to me, the office manager had the audacity to ask me if I wanted to open an account with BOA. I laughed all the way out of the bank with my cash in hand.
