I am a Bookworm

I will not be watching Amazon’s LOTR show when it comes out later this year. I will not be reblogging gifs, pictures or clips from it, fan art or fanfiction based on it, people’s reactions to it or reviews of it. I will unfollow blogs that post this kind of stuff because I don’t want to see it. The only Amazon-related things you will see on my blog are posts asking people to stop giving Amazon money and positive promotion. I’ve explained why here and here. 

Everyone should try to limit what they buy from Amazon, with the goal of quitting it completely. I understand that some people buy necessities from Amazon when they have no other choice, but the bottom line is, the last thing you need to be buying from them is entertainment. 

If you’re determined to watch Amazon’s LOTR show, at least pirate it. Before you get mad at me for saying so, remember that pirating Amazon’s content doesn’t take money away from the actors, artists, stunt people, etc. who worked on the TV shows. They’re paid for doing a job; they do not receive extra money when you pay for an Amazon prime subscription. 

Also, please don’t reply to this post saying “let people enjoy things.” Me personally wanting to avoid Amazon’s LOTR show does not stop you from engaging with it. I’m writing this post so I can figure out which blogs I can continue to enjoy without having to see Amazon content.
