I think my approach is fairly common:

• Do research on Amazon, find products, companies I want
• Leave Amazon, go directly to the company and buy it from them directly.

For example, last week I looked for a kit to grow micro-greens at home. Found one I liked, left the evil awful, bought it from the maker on their own web site. Repeat as often as you need.

I’ve not tried these but this site is helpful in finding apps.

Hauk looks interesting.

_drkt provided no proof of Tuta’s enshittification. There are no paid ads for third party products in any Tuta UI. Don’t panic yet. Read all the comments here, maybe.

Why don’t stories like this EVER mention Lemmy?
