The large majority of amazon profit comes from AWS. AWS accounts for around 3.5% of the entire internet. It’s also at least a third of all cloud computing.

It might be nearly impossible to avoid giving amazon your dollar if you are online.

Maybe you can't avoid AWS, but at least get rid of Amazon Prime.
