There are some sorta okay deals on some games and movies I'm kinda interested in, but nothing I really need at the moment so might just hold out a few months and wait for Black Friday when they'll probably be cheaper...

Look at it like this: what are you going to do when Black Friday rolls around and its not an Amazon-specific sale that is driving traffic to the site? Are you really so unwilling to shop on Amazon at a time like that?

Is there a way I can filter the video game section to video games?

I'm really not interested in three hundred million different headphone deals.

I don't really shop on amazon or participate in black Friday to begin with because it's an excuse to buy worthless crap I don't actually need. I'm all for good deals but I don't need a new TV or phone just because it got marked down a couple $100.

Im addressing those who seem to have taken the I WOULD have bought stuff on Prime Day but I cant condone how they treat their staff so I refuse to participate in Amazons annual tooting of their own horn event position.

Nothing. Not supporting it. Not even going to their sites.

I think the strike is important, and maybe by also boycotting, it helps out the workers that are striking somehow.

See, you dont even understand what effect not consuming will have in improving conditions between the staff and Amazon. It just maybe will help and give a vague notion of solidarity.

I mean its a pretty simple choice - the workers want me to support them by boycotting Prime Day, the bosses want me to buy stuff on Prime Day. I know who Im supporting.

I would rather stand with the workers than the company and if boycotting means reducing the demand for it, then that's good too. Why would I want to encourage a day where they overwork their employees even more than they already have when they deem paying a hospital bill is less costly than providing their workers with better working conditions? The stories I've read about and also heard from people working in various departments of Amazon is pretty disgusting.

I understand your point of wanting people to consume so that it puts a strain on Amazon and makes an impact on how much they need the workers, but I also think the six hour strike is a small delay that won't create that much of a strain. Not too mention it's more costly for Amazon to have no one buy the junk sitting in their warehouse as it takes up inventory for items people actually want to buy. They lose so much more money with these items sitting in their warehouses with no demand.

Edit: Also look at how many celebrities they have promoting it. That should show you how much they're willing to spend to promote this day because it'll still make them insane amount of revenue to justify it.

All I'm saying is your role in this doesn't bear much consequence other than give you a nebulous feeling that you've taken the right side when, really, I don't think anyone buying from Amazon is in a position to take a side at all. You're just denying yourself in the hopes something good will come of it.

I advocate the strike but it's THEIR strike. I can't get involved or do anything for them so I'll buy a product or two because I want it. I weigh none of my conscience or ethics on the action.

Good for you. I'll continue to choose not to participate in this day, and I'm not stopping anyone from doing so.

The topic asked a question, I answered and stated why.

Prime Day is overhyped by Amazon but people look bad acting like they are so intelligent for figuring out it's overhyped.

Ring + Echo Dot for $69 is the best deal by far

The Ring alone sells for $249

The Ring is $100 and regularly on sale at $70-$80 and they give out Echo Dots for damn near free nowadays.

I bought a Razor EcoSmart e-scooter (46% discount--aw hell yea). Considered the slim PS4 but given that I recently bought a Switch I doubt I'd get too much out of it just yet.

Would've saved myself some $ if I kept Prime Day in mind and bought a Switch and Crash N-Sane Trilogy today instead of doin' that not too long before, but such is life.

Their strike would probably cause more issues if people ordered more. Theres a reason it's scheduled for a big sales day.

I considered buying a new keyboard but even with buttons that sometimes get stuck my current keyboard is at least functioning, so I decided to hold onto the $ instead.
