Disney owns a giant share of the media ecosystem. Time to cancel some services and let them know why.

But I already boycotted Disney ): how can I do more damage?
Increase your upload ratio on any Disney properties you consume through BitTorrent, and no not positively discuss any of their properties online.
Rob them of revenue and organic marketing.
Tongue-in-cheek question, serious answer: Stop watching entirely, deny the company your attention, and erode its ability to control our culture. Use the time to learn DIY skills, and meet people IRL.
Probably preaching to the choir here on the Fediverse, but...
It's hard to remove Disney from every aspect of your life even when not consuming media. For example, I play Magic the Gathering, and the producer of the game is Wizards of the Coast, owned by Hasbro. Wizards of the Coast has secured licensing deals with properties of many media franchises including Marvel. Now, I personally try not to purchase licensed cards from those sets. but when cards are released quarterly and the supply chain to small game stores is choked out to only give them the newest stuff and the oldest stuff no longer in print but still in supply, your choices become, buy the latest licensed boosters and boxes or buy the old stuff you probably already have enough of.
My shop hasn't had Tarkir: Dragonstorm (a set that released in Q2 of this year) since the Final Fantasy set launched several months ago. And since then, Edge of Eternities (an nonlicecensed set) has released and even that set is hard to get hands on. So my options right now are, Final Fantasy cards, cards from a year or more ago, or prepurchasing Spiderman cards.... Even my hobbies are being canabalized by the megacorps.
It's exhausting, and I want to just enjoy my card game. I hate that a huge part of my enjoyment of this hobby has been sniffed out (cracking packs with friends) has been turned into something that feeds all the monsters at once. And since it became a finance hobby for people who don't care about the game at all, just what they can sell the product for aftermarket, this thing I love has become harder and harder to enjoy.
All that said, please nobody tell Disney about Disk Golf............
Stop buying their stuff harder!!!
Donate your money to your local PBS station if you can.
I did for a while, then they bought Hulu. I finally canceled Hulu yesterday.
