It's one thing to visit the website, but I would be interested what % is actually migrating?

For me personally, I had to install the "Go European" browser extension [1] before I actually started switching, due to more frequent reminders, from using mostly chatGPT/claude to LeChat by mistral (which feels at least as good).

My Take-away: User stickiness is hard to break due to providers' walled gardens, even for me who is aware and willing to change.

I wish I was for the life of me any good as a businessperson right now. No, developers are not good at business. There seems to be a huge opportunity here, since everything in the cloud computing category are plain old server hosts, nothing like "real clouds".

The incoming Q1 earning reports will show if these actions are mainstream enough to make a visible dent in companies quarterly earnings. For now, the already reported Tesla sales numbers in Europe are substantially down, but Tesla is the strongest target of the boycott. It will be interesting to see if consumer companies such as Coca Cola, Nike, Amazon also report a substantial drop in EU sales.
