Subjective value in our market system is determined by demand. If no one wants their shitty media, then it has little to no value and they must convince us that it does.
A mass exodus from American devices, apps, and services in general would have a significant impact.
Services rarely get mentioned by the Trump admin because the US has a massive service trade surplus with the world.
Think about every Visa transaction where they collect a 1.5% processing fee, or 30% off of an app store sale or Uber eats order.
Being the first to market and then using monetary and legal weight to secure their position as a middle man, collecting a tithe as everyone passes 'GO', has been their modus operandi for decades now.
