It can have a limited impact on the short term but I agree that it won’t do much. I don’t recall a “boycott giant corporations movements” that changed anything recently. Money comes first, and a mega merger to become even more monopolistic is much more important than a handful of angry customers. We’re at the age of enshittification and fascism. See Reddit as an example. Or Imgur. Now the same thing is happening but with another giant media.
It’s like people boycotting oil companies because gas prices are too high. They inevitably fail because there’s still plenty of people addicted to oil and gas willing to pay anything to get it.
Hell, in the current climate, cancelling or boycotting over this could put you on a list of people disagreeing with the government, and get you harassed or imprisoned.
I know people on this service are big advocates for pirating and shit like that to not give the big corporations any money. I’ve learned that rather quickly in the short amount of time I’ve been here.
