How do you boycott a network if you already don't watch any other shows on it?
Spread the boycott.
By not posting links to CBS News on Lemmy. Don’t give them your clicks.
Block them at the dns level
thier power lies in thier subscriptions, the less people subscribed to paramount+, which apparently is already hemmorhaging money from the streaming services, thier costs get higher. Also nutrek is likely whats keeping it alive for the moment, even though they cancelled most of the shows.
Boycott their advertisers
This is most effective when people pick one at a time.
If you’re watching Colbert on YouTube, you aren’t watching anything on CBS
You're just trading one terrible company for another.
Best practice is to pirate that shit. 😌
of course if you have to watch it, USE adblock, so youtube and cbs does not get any ad revenue.
Don’t stop
same. PARAMOUNT also is in huge debt for buying the network with CNN in it, compounding the debt of PARA+ itself, they are going to spend billions keeping it barely at float+ oracles datacenters costs. I think fans of trek seem quite ignorant of ellison being the owner of Paramount+, I HAVE Never seen any of them criticize the network(they probably dont want to ruffle the feathers), eventhough nutrek is pretty bad representatin of old trek, if not the exact opposite.
Tell your friends, tell your family. Have them do the same. Be a link in the chain.
