I'm seeing the companies but I'm not seeking the alternatives in what you linked? In some cases it seems impossible to boycott certain companies if there's no viable alternative. For example, I don't think I could boycott Home Depot AND Lowe's. From what I've heard, Home Depot would seem to be the better option if you were to choose one or the other.

Home Depot & Lowe's: There are lots of smaller hardware stores around.
Disney/Netflix/Hollywood/etc: That's easy. Piracy.
Gilette/Nike/etc: There's a shitload of razor and shoe manufacturers.
Professional sports: Sports are boring af so I've already spent my life boycotting them.
Google: Use AdBlock and DuckDuckGo

It's a ton of companies but most of them have alternative solutions.

Gillette and Nike were the easiest ones for me. I have SlingTV, not sure of the parent company but my package doesn't include Disney/ESPN so that's at least something. I use DuckDuckGo but I guess I need to install AdBlock because Google is still tracking you? MLB is the only pro sport I still follow and so far they're the least woke so hopefully it stays that way. I guess the short answer for a lot of these is to support local businesses, which we should be doing anyway.
