  Conservatives: “If you don’t like a business vote with your wallet, we don’t need regulations.”

  People: boycotts business

  Conservatives: “No, not like that.”

    You’re supposed to not like a business based on how much they support gay rights!!!

    Prrreeettty sure that was the left when people from all sides boycott BL because of Dylan and Targets shenanigans. So here is this version

    Left: “If you don’t like a business vote with your wallet, we don’t need regulations.”

    People of all sorts, mostly right: boycotts business

    Left: “No, not like that.”

  True, some of us cancel just because the price keeps getting jacked up.

    I cancelled (again) because… let me think. Apparently they nuke your account if you don’t use it for, say, 6-9 months (nice). All ratings, history, watchlist, etc: Fuck you, gone. Could not disable ads, AKA autoplay previews. Quality of content massively decreasing. Cost increasing (and never any deals). Mediocrity hit them hard years ago.

      TbF, If that nuke is true, I wish more subscription services did that as it’s better than me realizing 18 months later that I’m not using it anymore but have still been autopaying the bill. Presuming of course there is an email or phone call warning in case you want to keep it active.

        They nuke if you cancel for a few months. There are so many services, I only need 1-2 at a time. (If you forget you’re sub’d, they will never nuke or let you know.)

    And there’s nothing wrong with that, that’s not cancel culture, that’s not giving a scumbag company money, that’s how it’s supposed to work.

      Yeah, people should instead be shooting their Netflix subscription with AR-15s (it’s symbolic, ok?) and posting it on YouTube.

      Everyone knows that’s how you really show your disapproval for a company.

      People should only not spend their money on something for the right reasons.

  Is cancelling subscriptions part of cancel culture now?

  I mean…I guess…technically…

  • random65837@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    No shortage of people cancel services because of a single thing one person or says, or because they place an ad on a platform that’s popular to bash because of a political view with no direct reason otherwise, so yes, it’s pretty common.

      It’s almost like people in the United States have the freedom to express their opinions on a matter. Imagine that!

  You can find a dozen other reasons to terminate your Netflix subscription, for sure.

  What camp where you on when Bud Light changed their brand colors this year? I am asking this as a serious question.
