Apple for their poisonous followership.
Canon for being assholes.
Microsoft for their shitty products that only survive due to the mass they have acquired during the years running largely unchecked.
Facebook/Meta/Twitterx/Tesla: see Apple.

EA got my account stolen with 1200+ hours of playtime via fraudulent support tickets. That's why, I am not touching anything EA's involved with ever when they absolutely suck at account security.

Microsoft
McDonald's.
I'm not much into fast food but if I'm craving a burger and chips I'll get it from a pub.

Many store-brand foods because they're made with half garbage.
HP - their printers and subscription models pissed me off so much that I want nothing to do with them.
Apple - 'nuff said
KwikFit fucked me over once 15 years ago and I'm never going back.
Apple is BS for losers.
Someone driving a Tesla I can't help but think of them sucking off Musk whilst being ass fucked.
Honestly.. Google Play.. someone re-gifted my son a $20 Google Play card a few years ago, and I tried to buy something for him and realised the card was about 2weeks out of date, and after about 10 back and forwards with support, they wouldn’t honour it.. a trillion dollar company. I get it, but their cold indifference just seemed mean
They didn't become a trillion dollar company by being nice. No mega Corp earns their billions by being an honorable company
I thought it was illegal basically everywhere to have gift cards go out of date? Scumbags.
Amazon: I avoid them because of worker abuse and union busting. While prime shipping is convenient, planning around not having it comes pretty naturally. Just plan as if it’s not an option at all. This does require good internet search skills to find sites that sell what you’re looking for, but I can’t express how worth it the work is to get better quality products.
Starbucks: I avoid them because of union busting. I make most of my coffee and tea at home, it’s cheaper and better anyway. Otherwise, I go to a local cafe. My area has a lot of them, but even if yours doesn’t, try asking around.
HiSense - they make appliances and they're junk
All bottled water - no one needs them and it's plastic that's here forever
Temu - disposable shit
Bath and Body Works - the creators of microbeads (plastic) hand soap
Teflon - poisoned my town's water
Chick-fil-A - evangelist food, no thanks

Chic fil a, Tesla, Apple
Dollar, Hertz and Thrifty car rental. Also Budget, but for different reasons.
Never use Dollar, Hertz or Thrifty under any circumstances unless you want to be fucked. Never prepay with Budget unless you want to be fucked.

There are more but those are the first that came to mind that I don't have to go dig up a list.
I try to avoid all the brands that still work in russia because I don't want to fund the terrorist state
Apple & Meta. I try to boycott Amazon in lieu of other online sellers but I don't always succeed. All non-union Starbucks. The latter is the one that has impacted my life the most because I used to spend my days studying at Starbucks. I Struggle to focus and concentrate on formal work of any kind while at home. We do have two unionized locations in town. They usually don't have any sitting room left, though because they are so close to the university campus.
There's a bunch I know when I see them, but not many I can think of right on the spot. Apple, Liquid Death, and Celestial Seasonings are a few I can think of though. Apple for a million reasons; LD because I just find their whole campaign insanely obnoxious and everywhere I look and I hate that people are paying ridiculous prices for plane ass water in a can; Celestial Seasonings because it's straight up an actual cult.
Dell Microsoft Roku Sony Briggs & Stratton Duracell
All of the above companies have failed me for the Last. Time. Admiral Piet. We're done.

I avoid Nemix RAM, because the first time I bought a bunch of sticks from them, they had an 18% failure rate. I paid to ship the bad sticks back, and they sent me more bad sticks. Nemix said they worked fine, so I sent them the Memtest screenshot with all the errors. They didn’t want to pay shipping to replace them again, so I just returned them and got some Micron RAM, and it’s been working perfectly.
