Buycott

[3930dave]

Comments from anybody using this App ?

I don't like installing apps (I'm capable, just not often willing.....) on my phone, and have actually disabled or hobbled (I think ) a lot of what came on my phone.

While I have made some effort in the past to avoid products made in China, I'm on the lookout for better tools to manage my quest....

Buycott.com - Wikipedia

If you've had this app installed:

- how do you have it tuned, and how well does it deliver accurate results ?

- any negative effects ? (phone performance/speed, your data/preferences being leaked/used elsewhere......)

Watching this to see what you learn.

If I tried to boycott every company I disagreed with I wouldn't be able to buy hardly anything or use hardly any service. I think buycott's are stupid, even childish.

I just order 2 new batteries for my Dewalt; the website gave a US address but once the payment was made through PayPal the company on the confirmation was in Chinese lettering and I haven't been able to find out more about the company. They won't do me any good if I need to wait 3 months to get my order filled...

I do agree with this though, avoiding a company because of how the owners think is too close to censorship.

It's BUYcott...not boycot...did you even look at the link?

BTW If organized boycotts can be quite effective and they give some power back to the people...something they seem to have lost along the way...if justified consumers have the power to bring large corporations to their knees by simply not buying their products...

I DID look at the link, and I don't care if they call the app BUYCOTT, it is a BOYCOTT. And why do we need to bring corporations to their knees if we disagree with them? I disagree with you a lot, do I want to bring you to your knees. NO>

Yes, don't care and can't be bothered just about sums up my thoughts. And the reason for that is I see hundreds of corporate policies I don't agree with. To bad so sad for me.

Too bad you're that misguided and can't see the bigger picture...

Yep, sucks to be me.
