We've subscribed to Disney+ off and on. I've always subscribed to Netflix; once all the other platforms came around, we would add some. But since I've had my kids, a lot of the time we would have Disney+. The minute I heard the FCC chair was putting pressure on ABC, and when I realized Disney was the one that owns ABC, I was really sad.

Boycotting - the act of conscientiously refusing to patronize a brand or buy a product for moral reasons - has been a common way for consumers to exercise collective influence for well over a century. In the modern day, boycotts are usually targeted at large brands and tend to be organized informally through social media campaigns that are shared widely between individuals with similar moral or political views.
