    Fucking do it

    I’ve been meaning to cancel more streaming services. And the sooner it happens after Disney, the more it will affect the future decisions of other media conglomerates.

    Give us a chance to show the huge drop is Disney/Hulu wasn’t a fluke

      Do it.

      Stop spending as much money as you can. Most people can’t afford to go on strike but everyone can fuck with the velocity of rich people’s money. Rich people vote with their wallets all the time.

      Congress won’t shut it down. The People can.

        Meh.

        I’d say right now with as heavy handed as trump is being, it won’t take long to have a reason to cancel the rest in the next year.

        The only way they don’t all fold, is if they’re shown repeatedly that bowing to trump costs them money.

          When one folds they all fold. That’s why the first big one last year was so important.

          it won’t take long to have a reason to cancel the rest in the next year.

          Which has been said for years.

            Right…

            When it’s a slow trickle, they just raise prices and maintain profits.

            But when people do it en mass due to a specific action that the lose of subs can be tied to…

            That convinces shareholders to take action.

            Which is why I’m waiting for each to do something stupid.

            Like, a shit ton of rain over 9 months compared to 24 hours. We need to unite and be a monsoon too large to ignore that hits all at once on the same quarterly earnings report.

              My point is that they already have. Multiple times for years. They know you are willing to wait. That’s why they folded.

      Do it already! No point in waiting.

      That being said, I don’t think most of the public knows ABC = Disney.
