Walt Disney used to attend meetings of the German American Bund. They have a long and deep relationship with fascists.
Like many are saying, don’t give them your money back if they bring Jimmy back. Hopefully, Jimmy knows how well he could do away from the influences of such people, and he’ll say “nah thanks”
Don’t forget to put you reviews on app stores, with how many stars you deem appropriate
I would imagine that the crash was mandated by management.
“Make that page accidentally crash right now!”
It doesn’t take a lot of pressure to make a company cave, the James Gunn saga is one example.
If this causes a noticeable drop in revenue for them, they will care.
But they won’t really care, in a moral sense, they’ll just do what helps them make money. They’re all soulless.
The problem is, there was no reason to cave. Likewise there is no reason for Kimmel to even come back if they can waffle so easily, he doesn’t need the money and could probably shop a show on cable somewhere to have more say in how he can make fun of a current administration however fascist they wanna play or how much they want to play the victim.
From what I understand based on Colbert’s monologue, their motivations for suspending Kimmel is completely monetary based. ABC affiliate company Nexstar made a $6.2 billion deal to acquire TEGNA Inc and Disney which owns ABC made a deal to get some NFL assets in exchange for a 10% stake in ESPN (valued at around $3 billion).
Both of these acquisitions will need FCC approval to go through. Take a guess at what they’re willing to do to get that approval.
Sinclair is already a monopoly that holds 100x more influence than any company should ever be allowed… therefore all participants motivations are entirely criminal; only to further entrench their pre-existing illegal monopoly.
You’re not wrong, I personally didn’t even like Kimmel, but money walks, and I hope it still has some speech left to it.
Yeah honestly never cared much for him. Which last time I checked meant you just didn’t watch him. But apparently that’s just another difference between me and tangerine palpatine.
Release another popular show and people will come back. Political activism by not watching tv is the bottom of the barrel.
MONEY is all they care about. So it matters.
I think “thoughts and prayers” are the bottom of the barrel. This is actively withholding money from Disney. And Disney LOVES money. If enough people stop giving Disney money, then the “line goes up” people will not get tens of millions of dollars and they’ll have to take some action. This isn’t a meaningless gesture. Obviously it depends on how many people cancel their subscriptions. How’s spotify doing nowadays?
You are right. There is always lower. But it would be naive to bet on internet hype for having any consequences. Yes , you, me, many here, might change purchasing behavior for longer. But this is a microcosm and such a tiny fraction of the mass.
Maybe you are young and full of hope and I am old and already disenchanted. Don’t change.

i too feel old and tired. Sometimes i make comments like you did. We should change.
we should stay as allies of the young who have the energy to believe in change
Can they? At least on the marvel and star wars side they’ve been releasing pure garbage.
One single page crashed? Crazy!
In a company with their money? When their service is made to handle huge amounts of data for streaming? Yeah, pretty crazy.
