I've been trying to avoid shopping on Amazon for several years. For computer parts, I look at Newegg. For pet stuff, Chewy.

But what about all the miscellaneous stuff? What other websites do you trust when it comes to shopping online?

Porn starts a surprising number of careers.

It's not really.. Just look at how VHS, DVD and blu-ray became popular..

I despise the porn industry because it's so exploitative. But sometimes there are positive outcomes..

Just to note that the blu-ray was mainly thanks to PS3.

Thinking about war as I read your comment and how it has had the same effect on driving technology and medicine forward... Obviously not in the nicest way.
