  All efforts great and small.

    Agreed. Something is better than nothing, and if enough people get on board, it might just be enough to make a difference.

      Extending that, it's going to take a lot of people doing a lot of different things, from all angles, to ultimately succeed in quashing fascism again.

  I didn't see any numbers in TFA. Do you have any numbers? I think we just don't know.

    More than one drove. Upper bound is infinite droves.

      A drove has at least 4 people in it so we can establish an upper bound of 2.4 billion droves.

        I think your upper bound is too many droves, the limit is total Disney Plus subscribers.

        Here is some potentially useful data: statista.com/…/disney-plus-number-of-subscribers-…

        To me it looks like their numbers may be trending down already so a boycott could be extra effective. If they have lots of customers already considering leaving then giving them an excuse like participating in a boycott in defense of free speech could help accelerate that trend and make a bigger impact.

        Given that each person can hold as many accounts as they like, the number of accounts that’ve closed is anywhere from 4 to (2.4billion-.25)*infinity (because I had only one account). I can see why they’re panicking

    I think we can speculate with a high degree of confidence that it won’t influence their profit growth projections.

      I wouldn’t be so sure about that, the Disney brand has taken a major hit here. I think it is still impossible to say what it is going to cost them but it will cost them, they certainly aren’t making more money out of this. It is not a situation that makes the line go up, people are absolutely pissed at Disney.

        The Disney brand has taken a huge hit because they fired Kimmel, a guy who’s rating were tanking? Lol

        Disney made a business decision, and Kimmel approves of them doing that quickly and strongly.

      Now that quarterly reports are a thing of the past

  I suspect the amount of money they’d need to lose before they change course is actually quite small.

    Cowards will be cowards I say, but us simpletons don’t understand the high stakes and day to day pressures of a modern multinational corporate conglomerate. They have profit margins, investor boards, and mergers to consider. Heavens! What good is free speech if they don’t make more money this quarter than they made last quarter? Please, good people of the Fediverse, won’t somebody think of the shareholders?

  I find this trend to disregard every action as “not enough to matter” to be tiring.

  Unless such a reply contains specific actions to take in place of what is reported, then I basically consider them propaganda for the existing powers to encourage further inaction.

    The specific action is to stop pretending such articles are anything more than progressive click bait.
