Boycotts work because boycotts are collective . That's his point. If you get enough of society together to boycott X, or to call their government out on Y, or even vote Z, then together the difference will matter. What doesn't matter is a bunch of people buying an item, while you are making your own private 'boycott'. Personally, I 'boycott' youtube. Guess what? They don't care. They have enough eyeballs that they don't miss me at all.

P.S. I was happy that Paramount+ asks "why?" you cancel your subscription because I got to explain it was due to the 60 minutes settlement and firing Colbert... but I doubt they care that 1 person stopped giving them money over that.

  This you?
  
  you vote with your money in a more efficient way than any election
  
  If you look, I was the person explaining that per Doctorow collective action is good. You're replying to a post where I said, "...or even vote Z, then together the difference will matter." Maybe you meant to reply to someon else, or maybe you're a sock puppet that forgot to change accounts.
