          You think the global economy is going to collapse because Disney collapses? They make a lot of money as a corporation but that’s not important because they don’t pay any taxes.

          I have far fewer fucks to give about the “impact” of my boycotts than I have for my integrity.

          I refuse to give my money to fascists if it’s at all avoidable. I will inconvenience myself and pay more for alternatives, or forego things completely if I can’t make a compelling argument for having them.

          I have yet to hear such an argument for a streaming service.

      Probably, but if it turns out on the higher end of that, say 0.8%, then that’s also not nothing, considering that it’s the result of firing one (1) dude.
