Good for you Americans. Don't reactivate even if Kimmel comes back!
Surely resubscribing if they reverse their decision is the strongest signal to go woke or go broke. That there's money in allowing criticism of president, that can go away again if they engage with government censorship in America (of all places) again.
That makes more sense to me. But I don't have a subscription anyway
That's an interesting take, but I don't like to reward mega corporations. They know what makes them go broke, so they should build up that trust again. It's not like their service is essential, so why go back so quickly?
As a Canadian, I've been doing my best to avoid US products and services since January and I don't plan on stopping if 100% of Americans "get the hint" tomorrow.
