"What this advertising boycott is going to do is it's going to kill the company," he said.
Nobody owes you anything, you idiot. Businesses have the right to decide not to advertise with you, people have the right not to go to your platform, groups have the right not to host their content there. Your business was a convenient and vaguely congenial place for everyone to meet, but that's not true anymore.

Also yes it’s going to kill the company. Boycotts against company owners aren’t meant to be “please sir stop being a piece of shit” they’re meant to hurt. They’re meant to send a clear and painful message, and ideally create room for a less piece of shit alternative to succeed

They only want a market that’s free for them.
