Surely resubscribing if they reverse their decision is the strongest signal to go woke or go broke. That there's money in allowing criticism of president, that can go away again if they engage with government censorship in America (of all places) again.
That's an interesting take, but I don't like to reward mega corporations. They know what makes them go broke, so they should build up that trust again. It's not like their service is essential, so why go back so quickly?
As a Canadian, I've been doing my best to avoid US products and services since January and I don't plan on stopping if 100% of Americans "get the hint" tomorrow.

I think Marvel and star wars addicts might find it hard to cancel thier subscriptions, they are so obsessed with these franchised.
Disney is partially responsible for thier consequences, since they donate heavily to the GOP, we know they sustain the gop in FLORIDA, so it is likely they donate to gop national campaigns too.
For those that can’t quit the content cold turkey, there are other avenues of consuming that don’t benefit Disney… 🏴☠️

Just weighing in as a reformed Marvel fan and lifelong Star Wars fan: I started keeping local copies of that shit almost a decade ago and recommend to anyone I know to do the same. You never know when a streaming company might decide that it is no longer worth the bandwidth to host it, or if the rights will be transferred to a new service that I won't already have (i.e. all ot them). If you genuinely enjoy almost any media in the modern era you need to have a local copy, because if you don't some corporate entity may just decide to make it lost media on a whim because it becomes only moderately profitable.

Don't forget, Hulu is owned by Disney too. Honestly, I'm done with video streaming at least for a while. I never have time anymore to watch anything so it's just a money suck and physical media is better anyway.

Clickbait. Friggin article never mentions what"droves" means. I was hoping to find out 1 million people cancelled or something, but it just mentioned a few specific people.
Also, they didn't mention me. :(

I did
I'm all for Disney getting the cancellations they deserve, but articles like this one are entirely sensationalist. No one can know the real numbers of cancellations unless Disney announces them, which will never happen.
