Easier said than done when standing up could cost you millions if not hundreds of millions of dollars.

How many subs did Disney just lose? Pick your poison I guess. I’ll take my spine over a mil any day of the week.
How many subs did Disney just lose?

Beats me, you got any idea? I know how many I’d like them to lose, but for all I know I was the single household that cancelled Hulu, and wrote a strongly-worded letter (yes, as in I had to go find a stamp).

I don’t know but they dropped a few B in market cap so maybe fighting this would’ve actually been a win.
You are not alone
Hard to do when you’re a coward. Some things are more important in the long term for a company than the next quarter’s results.

Every person and every company which cares about democracy, freedom, … should collectively stand up to these bullies. They aren’t smart, they aren’t tough; they’re greedy, undisciplined, unethical, amoral, narcissistic, thin-skinned, unintelligent bullies. They whine and moan and will crumble if we just stood up to them. So why don’t we?

Yeah, standing up is reserved to those who have nothing rather then those who can loose hundreds of million dollars and still remain rich and powerful. /s
