Hey everyone, today I'm launching Boycott Buddy — a free consumer transparency tools that allows you to easily search thousands of brands across mega corporations such as Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Kelloggs and more! The business practices of mega-corporations cross ethical lines for many consumers. These corporations make efforts to obscure their involvement in certain brands by purchasing so many companies that it becomes impossible for the average user to keep track. The result is a predatory ability to trick people into financially supporting things they find abhorrent. With Boycott Buddy, I hope to lower the veil on this and provide consumers with the transparency they deserve when making shopping decisions. On this site, users can browse thousands of brands from the most prominent mega-corporations in the world, and read a cited list of reasons that people around the world have begun to boycott them. This project is the follow up to a Nestlé boycott tool that I published last year. This version contains a massively expanded brand library, improved search, and more detailed reasons to conduct a boycott. Happy to hear any feedback anyone may have so that these transparency tools can be as good as they can be! Check out the site here: https://www.boycottbuddy.app

Pretty bold, I would say! And something the world needs now. However, at this rate, you are sure to get some lawsuits along your way. Do you have plans in place to tackle those?

@naomigarcia Interesting question, I'd be curious to know what the nature of the lawsuit would be as all of the information listed on this site is public information, just categorized and made searchable. There is also a disclaimer that information may be inaccurate or out of date, as the data is crowdsourced. If a lawsuit was filed, I would likely crowd fund legal costs, I think there is enough demand for a resource like this to warrant that. Thanks for taking a look at the project!

Congrats on the launch! But here's my opinion: It's a good start, but there is much progress to be made. First, I believe the reason why the company is on the boycott list should be clearly defined with a detailed explanation of the reasons, and reliable sources/references to back up the statement should be provided. I genuinely believe that Boycott Buddy has such outstanding potential to raise awareness and realize its goals, so hopefully, us followers will get to see the improvements! Will be following, wish the team best!!!

@ezgicemrer Hey there! This project actually does include a detailed list of reasons for a potential boycott, with citations so the user can learn more, but I think I could make this a bit more obvious as a few users have said the same thing. The issues sections currently are within individual company pages, here's an example: https://www.boycottbuddy.app/coc... Thanks for checking out the project!

Hi, this is an awesome project! I like the design, I like the idea ♥ for a subject like this, I think working with a community is nice, how do you choose the companies that are added to the list? + is there a way to contribute (adding more sources, etc.)? Again, this is very cool 🔥

@ilphrin Hey there! So I picked large companies that specifically own very large numbers of brands, making it difficult to identify the parent company. These companies make it difficult to see all of the brands that they own and don't provide a clear, centralized list so I sought to remedy that. As for contributions, I want to have a more dedicated page eventually, but for now users can notify me about missing brands here: https://www.zachjordan.io/#contact Thanks for checking out Boycott Buddy!

Anyone know what is up with the seemingly bot comments on this post? Many of them are legitimate, but a few seem like AI generated comments all on the same theme. Regardless, thanks for the feedback and encouragement on this project! Boycott Buddy is also available on iOS here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bo...

@konrad_sx Yup, I'll be going through comments that ask questions that require more detailed answers shortly, a few topics tat were raised are a bit more nuanced. Thanks for checking out this project and Animal Alliance pledge, Konrad! That project actually has a relaunch in the works currently with a bunch of new features being added.

Nice project, maybe fun to add a button to boycot them, so it gets more social or something.

Providing transparency for consumers is such a valuable service. How do you verify and update the information on the brands listed? Are there plans to expand the database to include more brands and companies? Congrats on the launch, Zachary!
