      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

    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.

    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…

      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.

      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.

    Sorry I don’t know what have Disney done in particular. I’ve already seen something on it but *I can’t understand what happened. * I’m sorry for my ignorance. Hoping someone will answer,

    Bonne soirée… Autumn V.

      Jimmy Kimmel made a comment about how the MAGA gang was spinning the shooting of Charlie Kirk as a politically-motivated assassination by “Democrats”, when the shooter themselves was part of said MAGA gang and was not, in actual fact, a Democrat.

      In response, the FCC threatened ABC and encouraged TV broadcast stations to exclude their programming, and so ABC indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s show in response.

      That just about sums it up briefly.

        Additionally, ABC is owned by Disney.

        Probably obvious but the idea was missing a key component assuming it’s not common knowledge

    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.

    Boycotts on their own are not effective. They are more of a sprinkling addition to a full fledged program that includes more heavy duty tactics.

        Even without a usenet indexer, public bittorent gets you pretty far.

        Also funny how some of the nicest container stacks I’ve been seeing are fully decked out pirate ships with upwards of 20 containers handling various things. Some dude even published his insane 10k USD 320Tb plex server build on pcpartpicker with consumer priced server grade tech like 28TB HDDs and ECC RAM.
