I am.french, so our way of life are very different. I did that long ago. I actually never really used them. I always supported local businesses, 2nd hand, hand made, ecological products as muche as I could. But industrials have transformed the core of the USA. so that no one has any choice anymore.
We have more choices than most people realize. The alternatives to Amazon, Walmart, etc are a bit less convenient and a little more expensive but people are sick of how they're being exploited so the movement toward buying small and local is quickly getting big enough for big business to notice.
I spent 6 months in Virginia Tech in 2014. I remember how strange it was to me to have to take a car to get groceries, and do anything. How ugly those malls were. How uncomfortable that was to have to eat food thar was obviously unhealthy. But I found à Farmers market, and organic bulk food stores.
I had no problem dumping Amazon. Only Google though is a tough nut to crack. But I'll get there.
I need to get rid of my Gmail account. Not simple.
I know, I know, we'll all get there.
