You know, for when you want to either pivot to physical media or participate in public actions against certain companies.
No matter what is happening in the world, the state of entertainment within the digital landscape has locked consumers into dependence on streaming services to access their favorite shows and movies, rather than owning anything outright. For instance, Bluey dominates as the Australian indie animation studio phenomenon that could. In the United States it’s one of the most watched television shows… and happens to be distributed by Disney.
When a public boycott against Disney emerged over the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel, the move struck the public as a knee bent toward the United States’ current administration’s ongoing attacks on free speech; his freshly allowed return still comes as too little too late to get back in the goodwill of a public whose trust has been broken.
Complicated circumstances like this (and other public boycotts, such as Disney’s place on the BDS movement’s list of targeted companies for complicity in Israel’s genocidal invasion of Gaza) may only become more frequent as conglomerates are bought by other mega-corporations in a tumultuous political climate.
