it's easy to do something in the heat of the moment when passions are running high (and your favorite show is in-between seasons) but let's see where the boycott is in 6+ months after everything has cooled down and about 300 other new little fires from the current admin have come and gone from the headlines. That's the true measure of these kinds of "low temp" protests.
Even if they get back two thirds of the people who quit while the other third have discovered "other" ways to get their Disney content, that's still a third of a loss of revenue. A small dent is better than no dent. And whether the website crashed because of all the people quitting or they intentionally crashed it to prevent people from quitting, that means its a significant amount of people, and a third of that is still significant to them.
sure, but those are just numbers you pulled out of literally nowhere.
