You get to do whatever you want with your money, but a business advertising is a really weird hill to die on. There are terrible small businesses and good established businesses. I think it is worth doing some extra research to find the nuance.

You're boycotting every single company? Because even the village tailor will occasionally put an ad in the local newspaper.
Nope, only established companies with more than 5-10 employees.
So…. 99% of businesses? You couldn’t even shop at a farmers market if you exclude 5+ employees.
You misunderstood my comment, I buycott businesses who have more than 5 employees and pay to advertise.
Well, let's hope for your sake that that one corner shop where you're still allowed to buy food never hires a 5th employee ....
You are misinterpreting my statement intentionally. But yes, most of the shops I buy from do not run ads.
I'm not misinterpreting it, I just made an absurd example to illustrate how ridiculous it is.
a most of the shops I buy from do not run ads.
I doubt that. You're just not aware of them.
and this is a shitpost?
oh. in sidebar:
"Anything and everything goes. Memes, Jokes, Vents and Banter."
ugh...
I buycut any bisniss that casts a shadow
Another level 5 buygan I see…
Whenever I see post like this, I promote said company even further to compensate
Ah a contrarian.
I don't see any adverts due to extensive adblock.
I haven't found one that works on billboards and posters, yet.
Yes
