Reddit obviously. Pretty much any corpo controlled social media in general though. Deleted my FB account about 5-6 years ago and never looked back. Deleted my barely used Twitter account after muskrat took over.
Blizzard. Haven't played a Blizzard game since 2012 ish. I was deployed and would play WoW in my downtime until a major update came out and completely broke me, blizzard was no help in the multiple tickets that I submitted. Tried every fix I could find on the internet at the time. I asked them if they could send me an install disc, I'd even pay for it. Hard no from blizzard. It was clear they didn't care about a long time player like me. That was it for them. Now over the years we have seen all of the scandals and games rampant with microtransactions. I'll never play another one of their games unless I pirate the shit out of it.
I'm becoming increasingly intolerant to all of the tech price increases so I've been ramping up my self hosting capabilities. I just need time which is a hard commodity to come by for me anymore. This is really the only thing preventing me from cancelling Netflix right now because Netflix is easy for my kid to access across devices.
I have wanted to cancel Amazon for months now, but that's a battle I've lost to the wife. She gets everything on there. I've tried the argument that we can just order stuff when we have a cart over $25 for the free shipping. I've mentioned about how many late shipments we've got over the last few months. 2 day shipping has become a straight lie at this point. We don't watch Amazon prime video at all.
