Release another popular show and people will come back. Political activism by not watching tv is the bottom of the barrel.

    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

    Political activism by withdrawing payment is the most powerful form of activism.

    I remember French Revolution being a tat more than cancelling a Star Wars account.

    France just didn't know the cheat code. America started putting the white and black slaves against each other after a revolt. And it worked so well the elite have continued it.
