Disney owns a giant share of the media ecosystem. Time to cancel some services and let them know why.
… and let them know why.
I'm kinda annoyed. My sub expired a bit before this and I didn't renew. I was looking at whether to do so this month, but now I don't get to tell them why they aren't getting any more of my money
If you have the apps on your phone, uninstall them. They get uninstall reports (from Apple anyway) and that also helps send a message.
Interesting. Anyone know if that applies to TV's as well?
Friendly reminder, boycotting Disney isn't just a few streaming services. Everything from Spiderman Underoos to the Lego Millenium Falcon should be avoided like the plague. No Aladin on Broadway, or Theme Parks.
When their partners start to complain and their residuals take a hit they'll hear you a lot more clearly than just a drop in subscriptions.
If for some reason you can't cut them off, try to cut back. Disney made 91 billion in 2024, if everyone cuts back by 10% you can carve nearly 10 billion dollars out of their revenue stream.
Also FX? No more Sunny, or Wrexham. Fuck the house of the mouse.
Ha, I've been boycotting these companies for years.
Arrrrrrrrrrr
I kind of feel bad for Americans who were/are very invested in American culture. A lot of people survive on consumerism, so now they have to decide if they want to change their habits (choose ethics and morality) or continue doing their thing (because they’re in denial/need a distraction). It’s not looking good…
I consume like a motherfucker but I still cancelled Disney Plus and Hulu literally just now. Dropped my MAX/Hulu/Disney bundle and picked MAX back up because from what I understand they had nothing to do with this.
… imagine how much money you’ll save…
There’s zero chance this turns Americans away from consumerism. Hell, even in threads calling for boycotts most people are saying they’re going to still consume Disney products, they just won’t pay for it.
#BoycottDisney
I am personally very proud of you.
Sorry I don't know what have Disney done in particular. I've already seen something on it but *I can't understand what happened. * I'm sorry for my ignorance. Hoping someone will answer,
Bonne soirée.. Autumn V.
Jimmy Kimmel made a comment about how the MAGA gang was spinning the shooting of Charlie Kirk as a politically-motivated assassination by "Democrats", when the shooter themselves was part of said MAGA gang and was not, in actual fact, a Democrat.
In response, the FCC threatened ABC and encouraged TV broadcast stations to exclude their programming, and so ABC indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel's show in response.
That just about sums it up briefly.
Additionally, ABC is owned by Disney.
Probably obvious but the idea was missing a key component assuming it's not common knowledge
History channel?! Where the hell do you expect me to watch pawn stars and American pickers knowing ripping people off like the assholes they are. If that ain’t some real American history.
To those of you that are canceling Disney+ and looking for animation alternatives, might I suggest anime, (Japanese animation, some based on comics.) Give crunchyroll a try.
I just filed a complaint to ABC. Free speech is important especially in todays world.
Cancelled my Disney plus account.
-Yes, I get the irony of using that gif...
Boycotts on their own are not effective. They are more of a sprinkling addition to a full fledged program that includes more heavy duty tactics.
glad i dont have any of these the only streaming service needed is vlc and qbitorrent
Sonarr, Radarr, Sabnzbd, and your choice of an indexer = fully automated pirate ship 🦜 🏴☠️
Even without a usenet indexer, public bittorent gets you pretty far.
Also funny how some of the nicest container stacks I've been seeing are fully decked out pirate ships with upwards of 20 containers handling various things. Some dude even published his insane 10k USD 320Tb plex server build on pcpartpicker with consumer priced server grade tech like 28TB HDDs and ECC RAM.
Yarr
Cancelled.
mf's use lemmy and still don't pirate every piece of media. smh my head...
Just canceled their discount deal and Alien Earth sucks!
I liked alien earth so far. But how much they cram in Disney shit is so obscene. I wouldn't pay for it tho.
sailing the high seas these days. fuck them all.
But I already boycotted Disney ): how can I do more damage?
Tongue-in-cheek question, serious answer: Stop watching entirely, deny the company your attention, and erode its ability to control our culture. Use the time to learn DIY skills, and meet people IRL.
Probably preaching to the choir here on the Fediverse, but...
It's hard to remove Disney from every aspect of your life even when not consuming media. For example, I play Magic the Gathering, and the producer of the game is Wizards of the Coast, owned by Hasbro. Wizards of the Coast has secured licensing deals with properties of many media franchises including Marvel. Now, I personally try not to purchase licensed cards from those sets. but when cards are released quarterly and the supply chain to small game stores is choked out to only give them the newest stuff and the oldest stuff no longer in print but still in supply, your choices become, buy the latest licensed boosters and boxes or buy the old stuff you probably already have enough of.
My shop hasn't had Tarkir: Dragonstorm (a set that released in Q2 of this year) since the Final Fantasy set launched several months ago. And since then, Edge of Eternities (an nonlicecensed set) has released and even that set is hard to get hands on. So my options right now are, Final Fantasy cards, cards from a year or more ago, or prepurchasing Spiderman cards.... Even my hobbies are being canabalized by the megacorps.
It's exhausting, and I want to just enjoy my card game. I hate that a huge part of my enjoyment of this hobby has been sniffed out (cracking packs with friends) has been turned into something that feeds all the monsters at once. And since it became a finance hobby for people who don't care about the game at all, just what they can sell the product for aftermarket, this thing I love has become harder and harder to enjoy.
All that said, please nobody tell Disney about Disk Golf............
Increase your upload ratio on any Disney properties you consume through BitTorrent, and no not positively discuss any of their properties online.
Rob them of revenue and organic marketing.
Walt Disney was a fascist himself. Also there are rumors he was into young children so the fact that Disney now is choosing for the pedo fascists is very fitting.
What are your sources for this?

And I saw a documentary thing about how Alice in Wonderland was a fantasized story of him having a love obsession with an underage girl or something but that was a long time ago and it has never been confirmed.
Edit: also found this: https://nypost.com/2022/10/03/abigail-disney-calls-great-uncle-walt-disney-a-fascist/
The second article literally opens with it saying there is no evidence and the first references movies that weren't made until after he died.
Time to cancel my Disney+ account. Fuck em, cowards and bootlicking executive bastards.
Omg I went to cancel Hulu and I was paying $26 a month for the ad free package. It had dismey plus and ESPN too. I don't watch any of those! I told my wife I was cancelling and she was like yea fuck those fascists.
add paramount +, dont fall for the nutrek(eventhough the shows ar epretty bad in respect to pre-jja abrams) tricks to keep the stream alive.
I said this in another thread but it’s frustrating as hell as a non American that your citizens are being vanished into gulags based on their race, free speech is being silenced, your rights are being pissed on and all your tax money is going to weapons and billionaires. And the best you guys can do is a Disney boycott.
a non American that your citizens are being vanished into gulags based on their race
Which citizens? Things are bad enough as it is. We don't need people on the internet discrediting us.
