Disney owns a giant share of the media ecosystem. Time to cancel some services and let them know why.
I realize I'm a little slow on the uptake, but I cancelled my Disney+ subscription today.
Good job!
You probably should~~n't~~ look into Sonarr and Radarr as a replacement.
Ditto. Give them the Target treatment and then hit the next company, and the next, until they get the message.
Disney owns Vice? That is hilariously ironic and awkward.
Yay, Disney hate is finally mainstream! I'm basically inline with popular opinion by virtue of maintaining my firmly held beliefs I developed decades ago and held even when it was inconvenient and unpopular!!! It's my time to shine for the short period of time this transient fad plays out!
Kidding and current events aside, Disney media has given me the creeps since I was a kid. The popular cartoon movies just felt like propaganda. I'm not saying everything Disney hits that note, but so, so much of it does.
Then I started meeting Disney adults and, while I understand that Disney has no control over how these people act and choose to represent them, all I can say is OH MY GOD. Crazy cat lady, bizarre couple who live in Christmas themed home decor and wardrobe year round, homeless person who's still got money for meth and thinks he's Jesus vibes all wrapped up into one with sprinkles on top.
Then they took over local news stations and started presenting "Disney" as news -- entire segments dedicated to Disney intellectual properties disguised as "breaking news" kind of bullshit.
And finally they wrapped their slimy tendrils around the neck of super heroes and Star Wars and squeezed until blood poured out every pore while the corpse dried out and rotted.
So, thank you, I've had enough, and at least now maybe a few more people will see what kind of monster they've been supporting all along and decide to sever the ties.
It’s a bit funny and sad that the most innovation I’ve seen from Indiana Jones and Star Wars has been from video games - a cinematic medium they contract with, but don’t have as much twisted control over.
When Cal picks up a “crossguard” in Jedi: Survivor it was at first a moment of sequel cringe, but then they had the idea of having him wield it like a two-handed bastard sword where it has more weight, and it gives it such a cool identity.
Cancelled my Disney plus account.
-Yes, I get the irony of using that gif...
How did I miss that Disney owns the History Channel??
Because they buy up companies more often than normal people buy milk.
#BoycottDisney
I am personally very proud of you.
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.
laughs in pirate
Oh, latecomers to the party!
Welcome aboard.
Yeah. Still using Plex since I am old head with a lifetime subscription I got for $50 on sale a decade ago. Though if not I hear jellyfin is the best now.
Use Unraid for my NAS and definitely going to upgrade to lifetime after I've used it for over a year now. Makes things super easy but it's still Linux underneath so I can do whatever advanced thing I want when needed.
A nice NVMe cache drive, basic CPU, MB, some sticks of RAM, and a few multi TB HDDs and you can say goodbye to all streaming services for life.
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.
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…
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.
Ha, I've been boycotting these companies for years.
Arrrrrrrrrrr
Time for boycott level two: don't even steal it.
But I already boycotted Disney ): how can I do more damage?
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.
Stop buying their stuff harder!!!
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.
mf's use lemmy and still don't pirate every piece of media. smh my head...
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.
Fuck Disney in general, but what in particular happened this time?
ABC pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air for saying Kirk's killer was right-wing and that they're trying to use Kirk's death for political points.
He didn't even say Kirk's killer was right wing. He said that the right was desperately trying to say it wasn't one of them.
Fuck you micky mouse
So I asked about a month ago about boycotting Disney in a completely different thread. I'll ask again. Should I start boycotting Disney the same way we should be boycotting Amazon and Target and all these other companies kissing Trump's ass?
I don't boycott anyone I pirate.
Surely Kimmel has the means to start his own show on the internet and say whatever the fuck he likes, just like Charlie Kirk did, right?
Fuck Disney
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 🦜 🏴☠️
Damn! If only I had one of those services than I could boycott Disney too.
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.
Cancelled.
Didn't this come from Sinclair media, the notoriously right wing, massive media conglomerate?
I'm not sure how it works, and not saying Disney isn't partially to blame.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group
Sinclair is the "ABC Affiliate stations".
From Wikipedia (Jimmy Kimmel): On September 17, 2025, ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely after Kimmel's remarks regarding the MAGA movement's reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk drew threats from FCC chair Brendan Carr and an announcement from station owner Nexstar that its ABC-affiliated stations were dropping the program "for the foreseeable future".[5]
The Trump FCC chair started it by threatening ABC's license as well as licenses of ABC affiliates...Nexstar/Sinclair said they wouldn't broadcast the show, then ABC bowed to pressure and said the show was cancelled indefinitely.
Disney is worth $200+ billion, and if they fought this in court, the first amendment is clearly on their side. But like Paramount before them, they are complying in advance.
Thanks for putting that concisely, my brain isn't working so great this morning
I just filed a complaint to ABC. Free speech is important especially in todays world.
Huh, I don't watch any of that garbage already. Nice
Reaching a real person at any of these companies' call centers will cost the company real money.
(It can also hurt the statistics of the call center employee, so it's morally wishy-washy)
