What brands do you avoid at all cost? I don’t keep up with the news all that much, and many of the reasons to avoid something don’t make it there anyway. So I’m asking here to make a big list of things to avoid. It could be anything from bad security practices to really frustrating packaging. Working as a cashier myself, I definitely know there are plenty of brands I avoid purely on the basis that their product is a pain to stock.

On the flip side, what’s the alternative? If you avoid Pepsi, for example, what do you turn to instead?

    I was asking only about the technology stuff actually so huge thanks, mom likes Nestlé’s milk for some reason, me not, their products are always of higher price even water.
    I keep hearing good things about the pixel, but the problem is that Google doesn’t make that much phones, while Samsung has devices for every price (As, Js, Ss, …etc) and even if you’re screwed it’s not like Wiko (traume intensifies). I don’t hate TikTok specifically but yeah I hate bloatware on my devices, I used to have even Youtube and Chrome uninstalled back when I had a smart phone (J4+ was my brother’s choice for me)

      Budget phones aren’t really worth it when you can get a flagship from 3 years ago (with most likely better specs) for about the same price IMO. Sure, updates are a problem but if you’re willing to tinker around a bit it’s doable.
