      Nope, cancelled my Hulu/Disney the other day.

      Technically it runs the rest of the month, but a shit ton of people are all doing it.

      Fuck the mouse.

      And since the right gave up on them like a decade ago, the left cancelling is really going to fucking hurt.

      It’s not just about getting Disney to back down, it’s to set an example so the next corp re-evaulates if bowing to trump is worth it.

      My FB feed (I know) had at least 4 of my friends posting their cancellation. I’m doing my tomorrow only because I was one espisode away from finishing a series.

        So what you’re saying is you aren’t currently watching a show and so you feel this is a good time to stop that service and get another service which is probably what you’re usually doing anyway. Tell me the other streaming services you have and I will judge you based on what those streaming services have done in the past, and question why you still have them.

          See, there’s a large flaw in your assumption there: That I care who you are to even be judged by you. You couldn’t be more wrong.

            Don’t worry, a non answer just shows the world who you are. Not that either of us care.

      That’s half the joke. Disney has the market cornered and fully saturated. What we’re seeing is a slowdown in the consumer economy, not a boycott.

      But pretending a recessionary wave is some kind of political movement makes the austerity feel righteous.

        Right, no one is canceling Disney for political reasons, they’re canceling it because they need to eat.

          I just canceled last night because of this. I’ll just have to find the time to finish Andor S2 in the next couple of weeks.
