You don't always have to make an impact on the world. Sometimes making an impact on your world is enough.

It's not so much about making a difference as it's about living by principles.

I boycott Facebook, Amazon, and Disney.

I agree that living by principles is worthwhile. But so few people do it that it will have so little impact on market forces and inequities that they are wholly irrelevant to the OP topic. You may as well tell us that you've decided to take up flying by flapping your arms.

How is having and deciding to live by a set of personal principals, even if there isn’t an outcome on “market forces” in any remote way comparable to believing you’re a bird?
