I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don’t like but has an alternative?
WhatsApp for me. I hate it but in my country all people use it.
I’ve had some success getting people in some social circles in Canada to use Telegram.
Windows -> GNU/Linux
KDE/Gnome -> JWM
TV -> Reading books
Twitter -> Fediverse
Coke/Cola -> Tea/infusion
Amazon -> Local bookshop
Amazon needs a bit more than bookshops to replace it. Need a whole shopping mall

Amazon, sort of. It absolutely cannot be beat for convenience. Ordering something in 15 seconds, then having it shipped within 48 hours is unmatchable.
But if you plan ahead, and aren’t an impulse buyer, you can find alternatives with better products and similar prices. Most stuff on Amazon is absolute junk with clickfarm reviews.
Ironically Reddit was really good for finding niche websites for whichever product you were looking for. Hopefully Lemmy will reach that point eventually.

People complain about Banks screwing them over with fees and caring more about investor profits all the time. But few people move their money to credit unions or other co-operatively owned financial institutions. Usually it’s because of some minor inconvenience.
