don't you hate it when you want to boycott a product, but you never used it anyways?

I feel it about Chik-fil-a. I would boycott them for their anti-LGBTQ+ bullshit, but I already boycott them for having the most basic bitch chicken that only marginally surpasses Cane's (the blandest chicken ever) in terms of flavor.

Or Hobby Lobby because we only have Micheal's out here.

Pretty easy to boycott CBS when the only thing on CBS I watched was Colbert 🤷‍♂️

How do you boycott a network if you already don't watch any other shows on it?

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 26 points 1 hour ago

By not posting links to CBS News on Lemmy. Don’t give them your clicks.

[–] Klox@lemmy.world 31 points 2 hours ago

Spread the boycott.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 22 points 2 hours ago

Boycott their advertisers

[–] homes@piefed.world 3 points 1 hour ago

If you’re watching Colbert on YouTube, you aren’t watching anything on CBS

[–] X@piefed.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Don’t stop

You people can't do anything right.

Boycott Paramount AND all their assets.

Well ......

You mean Comedy Central? Home of The Daily Show?

I think I'll continue to enthusiastically support The Daily Show.

I’ve been running a Plex server for 20 years, and subscribe to zero streaming services nor cable. I’m pretty sure I’m doing at least something right.

Edit: and before you jellyfin evangelists dogpile— i’ll migrate when it is ready. I look forward to that day, I really do, but it’s just not mature enough yet. I’m keeping my eye on it, and I’ll switch when the day comes. ❤️

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 14 minutes ago

I tried Plex and Jellyfin, but the only one that has worked effectively for me has been Emby.

I’m not 85 years old so I’ve been unintentionally boycotting CBS for years now

“Doing the right thing” is intentional

[–] Arkhive@piefed.blahaj.zone 26 points 2 hours ago

Already have been comrade🫡

[–] kokesh@lemmy.world 1 points 49 minutes ago

You can block them in Adguard Home. I did that, so no Paramount+ or CBS on my network, or any of our own devices anywhere. If our accommodation/adventure guests complain, I'll tell them to use their own data.

I haven't watched broadcast TV in over ten years I think the last thing I watched was the 2014 Winter Olympics.

The only way I can currently get broadcast TV is through Famelack.

[–] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 3 points 1 hour ago

Neat, I'd never heard of Framelack.

Appreciate the indirect pointer in that direction!

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago

I boycott ALL of it and have since 1999.

That was the year we got rid of cable TV and the TV altogether.

Cut the cord, it's liberating.

[–] Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago

I'm already years ahead of you on that one

The fact that businesses sell or are allowed to be taken over by bad actors is a direct failure of capitalism. Companies operating with no regards to reputation is only beneficial when operating as service providers in a monopoly. Why so many allow mergers and buyouts from the worst of society are common truly speaks to the comically stupid system where stockholders would some how prefer their investment be overwritten by a comic book villain who's going to use the company for villain shit to just not doing that... is it that the stockholders aren't like us, that it's CEOs chasing a bonus, that relationships we're not provvy to overwrite business interests, or all of the above?
