I canceled my Hulu/Disney+ subscription two days ago. A long time ago, I had an absolute boycott on Disney because I hated their hypocrisy when it came to copyright law. They tried to extend their copyrights indefinitely, even though the majority of their IPs came from the public domain. They were like a dog who only knows how to fetch the ball, but won't ever release it.

When Disney acquired Pixar and was the American distributor for Studio Ghibli, and bought Star Wars, and distributes Marvel, at some point I eventually relented and stopped my boycott. I stopped caring as much about hypocrisy, in general. But never again. It was obviously a mistake to ever give them money. They will never get anything from me again.

Same here, except I stopped giving a shit about Marvel & Star Wars when they bought them.

Same here. When they bought SW, 1313 was cancelled. I remember i had a friend who had faith in disney owning SW… he isn't my friend anymore (because other things) but he won't stop bashing disney for what they did to the IP, lol.

i had optimism they’d handle star wars well given how they handled marvel up to that point. unfortunately they learned absolutely zero lessons from that success.

I'll admit, I'm hypocritical on some things. Disney became an easier choice for me when all their stuff became kinda bad.
