This reminds me to cancel my Disney plus subscription. Anytime I ever actually have a subscription is when there's new episodes of Andor. I'm genuinely baffled as to what other attractor Disney plus has.

That shit is pre installed and unremovable for most non-techies using their normal tv os. It’s so annoying too.

A lot of us are only here because we wanted to join a consumer action against Reddit. The first few months I was on Lemmy every post was about how Reddit users were fleeing in droves and we were going to show those big bad corporate clowns over at Reddit not to mess with us and Reddit would collapse within weeks.

Welp. Reddit is doing just fine, so yeah, color me cynical as well. I like it better here though.

worked?

Depends on your expectations.

Will they say f'it and bring Kimmel back in the face of the government shutting them down?

No

Will they consider a 10% loss, even if ephemeral, in their next action? Sure. But they've already made this calculation, they already knew what was on the line and they weighed it against what the administration was going to do for/against them and it made financial sense.

I'm down to bash big corp as much as the next person, but this is a failure of the people in letting the government do whatever they want. If the people aren't going to stand against the government, why do we expect the corporations to?

For me, it’s not about boycott to affect. I just don’t want to give my money to what I do not believe. It’s a personal choice, I can’t control anything, I am just trying to live my life. This is a small thing I can control.

It’s like why delete my Reddit account to be here.

Target was affected by boycotts in a way that other retailers are definitely aware of.

The very personal and highly disorganized boycott of American goods and services by Canadians is definitely having an effect on several sectors including tourism, alcohol, and media.

Tourism alone has resulted in a loss of about 30 BILLION.

Because the regime and his sycophantic cunts are fucked and can suck our collective dick.

For those that can’t quit the content cold turkey, there are other avenues of consuming that don’t benefit Disney… 🏴‍☠️

Surely resubscribing if they reverse their decision is the strongest signal to go woke or go broke. That there's money in allowing criticism of president, that can go away again if they engage with government censorship in America (of all places) again.

You can still get back most of the year of you message them. This will give you time to setup a replacement on stremio + alldebrid

The only reason I've never canceled is because I've never subscribed.

But I wish I had something to cancel in protest of the egregious 1st amendment violations.

yep. not gonna subsidize them caving to fascism.

DROVES

I went to look at the 538 Trump opinion polls to compare to his first term, then I remembered ABC bought and destroyed 538.
