I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don’t like but has an alternative?

    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.
