tbh, I expect a lot of subscribers to resub sooner than later. Sadly
I think this is how boycotts are supposed to be. Protest and return if it's successful.
If companies know they won't ever recover from the mistake, why walk it back?
this hurts more than protests, because its hurting them where it actually matters, money.
Boycott is a form of protest.
