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.

I've been pirating everything I watch for the past 25 years.
Like. Wtf y'all doing.
Good news, I was already doing it. Now finding out how to boycott Sinclair, that's where it's at.
They bought all the free media, stuff that gets broadcast over the air. A lot of local news TV channels are Sinclair.
Hard to boycott when it is basically broadcast to everyone by default, including to things like Roku
I realize I'm a little slow on the uptake, but I cancelled my Disney+ subscription today.
Good job!
You probably should~~n't~~ look into Sonarr and Radarr as a replacement.

Disney owns Vice? That is hilariously ironic and awkward.
Yay, Disney hate is finally mainstream! I'm basically inline with popular opinion by virtue of maintaining my firmly held beliefs I developed decades ago and held even when it was inconvenient and unpopular!!! It's my time to shine for the short period of time this transient fad plays out!
Kidding and current events aside, Disney media has given me the creeps since I was a kid. The popular cartoon movies just felt like propaganda. I'm not saying everything Disney hits that note, but so, so much of it does.
Then I started meeting Disney adults and, while I understand that Disney has no control over how these people act and choose to represent them, all I can say is OH MY GOD. Crazy cat lady, bizarre couple who live in Christmas themed home decor and wardrobe year round, homeless person who's still got money for meth and thinks he's Jesus vibes all wrapped up into one with sprinkles on top.
Then they took over local news stations and started presenting "Disney" as news -- entire segments dedicated to Disney intellectual properties disguised as "breaking news" kind of bullshit.
And finally they wrapped their slimy tendrils around the neck of super heroes and Star Wars and squeezed until blood poured out every pore while the corpse dried out and rotted.
So, thank you, I've had enough, and at least now maybe a few more people will see what kind of monster they've been supporting all along and decide to sever the ties.
good thing i never had a STAR WARS or marvel addiciton, like 10s of millions of fans out there.

I said this in another thread but it’s frustrating as hell as a non American that your citizens are being vanished into gulags based on their race, free speech is being silenced, your rights are being pissed on and all your tax money is going to weapons and billionaires. And the best you guys can do is a Disney boycott.
Man... I don't think we can even. We can't build consensus for shit

How did I miss that Disney owns the History Channel??
disney bought up so many streaming, media companies. they owned FOX, but not fox news(which is still under murdochs control), and hulu+. ALSO BBC, which is why they have been PROMOTING charlie kirk.
Because they buy up companies more often than normal people buy milk.
Omg I went to cancel Hulu and I was paying $26 a month for the ad free package. It had dismey plus and ESPN too. I don't watch any of those! I told my wife I was cancelling and she was like yea fuck those fascists.
laughs in pirate
Oh, latecomers to the party!
Welcome aboard.
Fuck Disney in general, but what in particular happened this time?
ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air for saying Kirk's killer was right-wing and that they're trying to use Kirk's death for political points.
He didn't even say Kirk's killer was right wing. He said that the right was desperately trying to say it wasn't one of them.

So I asked about a month ago about boycotting Disney in a completely different thread. I'll ask again. Should I start boycotting Disney the same way we should be boycotting Amazon and Target and all these other companies kissing Trump's ass?
