Disney owns a giant share of the media ecosystem. Time to cancel some services and let them know why.
I pirate their series because it's cheaper.

Friendly reminder, boycotting Disney isn't just a few streaming services. Everything from Spiderman Underoos to the Lego Millenium Falcon should be avoided like the plague. No Aladin on Broadway, or Theme Parks.
When their partners start to complain and their residuals take a hit they'll hear you a lot more clearly than just a drop in subscriptions.
If for some reason you can't cut them off, try to cut back. Disney made 91 billion in 2024, if everyone cuts back by 10% you can carve nearly 10 billion dollars out of their revenue stream.
… and let them know why.
I'm kinda annoyed. My sub expired a bit before this and I didn't renew. I was looking at whether to do so this month, but now I don't get to tell them why they aren't getting any more of my money
If you have the apps on your phone, uninstall them. They get uninstall reports (from Apple anyway) and that also helps send a message.
Interesting. Anyone know if that applies to TV's as well?
Likely. It’s all part of the same ecosystem
#BoycottDisney
I am personally very proud of you.
I kind of feel bad for Americans who were/are very invested in American culture. A lot of people survive on consumerism, so now they have to decide if they want to change their habits (choose ethics and morality) or continue doing their thing (because they’re in denial/need a distraction). It’s not looking good…
There’s zero chance this turns Americans away from consumerism. Hell, even in threads calling for boycotts most people are saying they’re going to still consume Disney products, they just won’t pay for it.
I consume like a motherfucker but I still cancelled Disney Plus and Hulu literally just now. Dropped my MAX/Hulu/Disney bundle and picked MAX back up because from what I understand they had nothing to do with this.

Ha, I've been boycotting these companies for years.
Arrrrrrrrrrr
Time for boycott level two: don't even steal it.
Not worth the effort. I need tv entertainment but I am not paying it
It's a solid message, though. I dislike you so much that I won't even steal it.

Cancelled my Disney plus account.
-Yes, I get the irony of using that gif...
I realize I'm a little slow on the uptake, but I cancelled my Disney+ subscription today.
Good job!

Also FX? No more Sunny, or Wrexham. Fuck the house of the mouse.
Do not forgive, do not forget. Purge these companies from your life forever.

History channel?! Where the hell do you expect me to watch pawn stars and American pickers knowing ripping people off like the assholes they are. If that ain’t some real American history.
Yay, Disney hate is finally mainstream! I'm basically inline with popular opinion by virtue of maintaining my firmly held beliefs I developed decades ago and held even when it was inconvenient and unpopular!!! It's my time to shine for the short period of time this transient fad plays out!
Kidding and current events aside, Disney media has given me the creeps since I was a kid. The popular cartoon movies just felt like propaganda. I'm not saying everything Disney hits that note, but so, so much of it does.
Then I started meeting Disney adults and, while I understand that Disney has no control over how these people act and choose to represent them, all I can say is OH MY GOD. Crazy cat lady, bizarre couple who live in Christmas themed home decor and wardrobe year round, homeless person who's still got money for meth and thinks he's Jesus vibes all wrapped up into one with sprinkles on top.
Then they took over local news stations and started presenting "Disney" as news -- entire segments dedicated to Disney intellectual properties disguised as "breaking news" kind of bullshit.
And finally they wrapped their slimy tendrils around the neck of super heroes and Star Wars and squeezed until blood poured out every pore while the corpse dried out and rotted.
So, thank you, I've had enough, and at least now maybe a few more people will see what kind of monster they've been supporting all along and decide to sever the ties.

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...

Donate your money to your local PBS station if you can.

I said this in another thread but it’s frustrating as hell as a non American that your citizens are being vanished into gulags based on their race, free speech is being silenced, your rights are being pissed on and all your tax money is going to weapons and billionaires. And the best you guys can do is a Disney boycott.

Disney owns Vice? That is hilariously ironic and awkward.
Omg I went to cancel Hulu and I was paying $26 a month for the ad free package. It had dismey plus and ESPN too. I don't watch any of those! I told my wife I was cancelling and she was like yea fuck those fascists.
I just filed a complaint to ABC. Free speech is important especially in todays world.
glad i dont have any of these the only streaming service needed is vlc and qbitorrent
Sonarr, Radarr, Sabnzbd, and your choice of an indexer = fully automated pirate ship 🦜 🏴☠️

Walt Disney was a fascist himself. Also there are rumors he was into young children so the fact that Disney now is choosing for the pedo fascists is very fitting.
