      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.”

        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 want maybe 1-2 at a time, and honestly need zero, could just use Plex. (If you forget you’re sub’d, they will never nuke or let you know.)

          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.

      Is cancelling subscriptions part of cancel culture now?

      I mean…I guess…technically…

      Edit: wow I interpreted that comment very wrong.

      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.

      Not everybody lives their lives based on political cancel culture.

      Just the people who tried to cancel Rock and Roll, Heavy Metal, D&D, The Dixie Chicks, teaching black history, books, trans people, gay people, abortions…

      True enough that not everybody does (also it’s “consequence culture”, but I digress), but the energy of your post is COMPLETELY this…

      “OH YEAH? Well we don’t ALL wipe ourselves after were shit okay?? It’s natural and it’s a choice… get over it, bro!!!”
