I don't like social media in general because on the whole it has had a corrosive impact on society irrespective of politics. It has been especially toxic to young girls. Fakebook is far too powerful and ideologically compromised. You may not be getting your news from them but I can tell you based on studies you are in the minority. Can you honestly say you don't ever look at your news feed? If you do, you are being manipulated. And I don't like that they use your personal information to make money even if you give it willingly. As for Twitter, it is a complete cesspool of human debris on both sides of the ideological spectrum. And what is posted there far too often is used to direct the news you see and hear. What's trending on Twitter today is in the nightly news as if that is real news. And given the way it is manipulated by bots you can't even trust what is really trending. As for Tik Tok it is a tool for the ChiCom's to control what users hear and think.
I don't like Amazon because they have destroyed brick and mortar companies, albeit with a really grat idea that was well executed. I also have Prime because my wife and kids use it, but free shipping is a bogus claim as the shipping costs are included in the Prime price. But I try to avoid it as much as possible to spread the wealth around to other retailers without making Bezos any wealthier. Has less to do with his politics than his impact on small businesses. But I don't like his politics either and my niece used to be his personal lawyer until she died of breast cancer. She too was a left wing nut like her parents, who I love and get along with as long as we don't talk politics.
