      My FB feed (I know) had at least 4 of my friends posting their cancellation. I’m doing my tomorrow only because I was one espisode away from finishing a series.

        So what you’re saying is you aren’t currently watching a show and so you feel this is a good time to stop that service and get another service which is probably what you’re usually doing anyway. Tell me the other streaming services you have and I will judge you based on what those streaming services have done in the past, and question why you still have them.

      Nope, cancelled my Hulu/Disney the other day.

      Technically it runs the rest of the month, but a shit ton of people are all doing it.

      Fuck the mouse.

      And since the right gave up on them like a decade ago, the left cancelling is really going to fucking hurt.

      It’s not just about getting Disney to back down, it’s to set an example so the next corp re-evaulates if bowing to trump is worth it.

      That’s half the joke. Disney has the market cornered and fully saturated. What we’re seeing is a slowdown in the consumer economy, not a boycott.

      But pretending a recessionary wave is some kind of political movement makes the austerity feel righteous.

        Right, no one is canceling Disney for political reasons, they’re canceling it because they need to eat.
