We buy (and use) what we want to be. For example, if we aspire to become tech-savvy, we might run Linux on our computer, or if we wish to be seen as outdoorsy, there's a good chance we'll drive a Subaru.
Not that there's something wrong with those products. They simply help us to build our identity and reflect our desire to align with certain lifestyles or communities. As does actively boycotting others.
Reddit user MasterMirkinen wanted to tap into the consumer mindset of the platform's users, so they asked everyone which things they refuse to purchase due to the people and companies behind them. Here are the most popular answers to that question.
#1
I refuse to buy anything from the Acme Corporation. Their products always seem to backfire in the most cartoonishly disastrous ways. Plus, I heard their CEO is a real coyote. I mean, come on, who wants to support a company run by a guy who's constantly chasing roadrunners?

Anything advertised by influencers. Keep that trash away from me.

#5
Anything backed by a religious element. Hobby lobby & Chick-fil-A come to mind right away but if I notice any brands actively spouting religious ideas I'm never supporting them again.

I will never buy Chick-fil-A myself, because the owners willingly and knowingly directly fund christian gay conversion camps - ya know, the places that traumatize and threaten and scare innocent young children, that are kept there agaist said childrens' will even up to age 17, because their parents are brainwashed by ridiculous religious teachings.

#10
TikTok.I just don’t trust the CCP or anyone who can disappear the Chinese Jeff Bezos for 3 months and then have him come back singing a different tune.
#11
MyPillow.

#12
Tesla. It's a product that has become progressively WORSE over time. The early models have better features than the cars today. How does that make sense?Throw Musk and his ravings and behavior into the mix...
Never. Rivian is great. GM is surprisingly great.
#13
I refuse to purchase F-35s from Lockheed Martin. Those guys have done some shady things in the past and until they clean their street I refuse to spend my hard-earned cash on their overpriced jets.

#14
Anything Kardashian/ Jenner.

#15
Nestlè products. And it's getting difficult to find stuff that doesn't lead back to them.

#16
Any product associated with MLMs. The business model actively exploits people who *need* a second income, and the owners know that.

Anything from Shein.

I refused to purchase gas/petrol at BP for years because of the Gulf Oil spill.

Jimmy John's.

#21
Locally, there are several restaurants in my city that I won't visit because they are all owned by the same guy and he was rude to me on an earlier occasion. Yes, I can be quite petty about these things.
