Good job!

You probably shouldn'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.

Way ahead of you. Disney have been unworthy scumbags in my eyes ever since I read 'Free Culture' by Lawrence Lessig many years ago.

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.

bizarre couple who live in Christmas themed home decor and wardrobe year round

good thing i never had a STAR WARS or marvel addiciton, like 10s of millions of fans out there.

Man... I don't think we can even. We can't build consensus for shit

Cash is king

a non American that your citizens are being vanished into gulags based on their race

Which citizens? Things are bad enough as it is. We don't need people on the internet discrediting us.

Because they buy up companies more often than normal people buy milk.

disney bought up so many streaming, media companies. they owned FOX, but not fox news(which is still under murdochs control), and hulu+. ALSO BBC, which is why they have been PROMOTING charlie kirk.

I am personally very proud of you.

Is it invite only? Nothing is showing up when I click the link.

Ahoy matey! Already with you.

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!!!

Tongue-in-cheek question, serious answer: Stop watching entirely, deny the company your attention, and erode its ability to control our culture. Use the time to learn DIY skills, and meet people IRL.

Probably preaching to the choir here on the Fediverse, but...

I did for a while, then they bought Hulu. I finally canceled Hulu yesterday.

Donate your money to your local PBS station if you can.

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.

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.

I consume like a motherfucker but I still cancelled Disney Plus and Hulu literally just now. Dropped my MAX/Hulu/Disney bundle and picked MAX back up because from what I understand they had nothing to do with this.

Time for boycott level two: don't even steal it.

I'm kinda annoyed. My sub expired a bit before this and I didn't renew. I was looking at whether to do so this month, but now I don't get to tell them why they aren't getting any more of my money

What are your sources for this?

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.

I liked alien earth so far. But how much they cram in Disney shit is so obscene. I wouldn't pay for it tho.

yes, cancel subscription in case you have it.

Sonarr, Radarr, Sabnzbd, and your choice of an indexer = fully automated pirate ship 🦜 🏴‍☠️

I wanna hear about these nutrek tricks. How exactly did you tricked?

Xactly. Tis a scam. His grandpa was a pimp & grifter. So was his dad. Matter o' fact, his g'pops certainly made his fortune next to Ruzzia. Odd. Something something, rhymes with Krasnov.

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.

marvel hasnt been pushing out good shows/movies, you arnt missing much. even if you really wanted to see it, i would just look for youtube clips, and save you the trouble when it comes out.

Jimmy Kimmel made a comment about how the MAGA gang was spinning the shooting of Charlie Kirk as a politically-motivated assassination by "Democrats", when the shooter themselves was part of said MAGA gang and was not, in actual fact, a Democrat.

In response, the FCC threatened ABC and encouraged TV broadcast stations to exclude their programming, and so ABC indefinitely suspended Jimmy Kimmel's show in response.

That just about sums it up briefly.

Boycotts aren't effective alone. Neither is one person deciding to vote for the other party. Telling your boss 'Uh, no, I'm not going to do that, that's illegal and immoral and probably a war crime or something' is not actually effective. Sure, I could switch providers or go sailing the high seas but that won't eradicate fascism, so why bother?

So I guess the only solutions are 1, carry right on supporting, validating, and participating in any bad practice or evil that comes your way, 2, some hitherto undiscovered way to Stop Evil in one fell stroke, or 3, engage in change as a process, on the understanding that the bad guys are hopefully not the only type of people who can work together to get shit done over a longer timeframe than 'now or never'.

I'm going for 3, because frankly if there aren't enough decent people in my community to put in a fraction of the effort the dangerous idiots are putting in, it's not worth saving. And I can't be bothered to do the whole 'judging myself, my family and friends and neighbours and country and society and finding it wanting' at the moment, so it's easier to just do what little good I can, wherever I see the chance

They bought all the free media, stuff that gets broadcast over the air. A lot of local news TV channels are Sinclair.

Hard to boycott when it is basically broadcast to everyone by default, including to things like Roku

No idea what protesting is hey. One person who writes a complaint equals many others who don't do it but have the same reasons to boycott. Look it up.

Maybe stop putting your shows over your country.

It can have a limited impact on the short term but I agree that it won't do much. I don't recall a "boycott giant corporations movements" that changed anything recently. Money comes first, and a mega merger to become even more monopolistic is much more important than a handful of angry customers. We're at the age of enshittification and fascism. See Reddit as an example. Or Imgur. Now the same thing is happening but with another giant media.

It's like people boycotting oil companies because gas prices are too high. They inevitably fail because there's still plenty of people addicted to oil and gas willing to pay anything to get it.

Hell, in the current climate, cancelling or boycotting over this could put you on a list of people disagreeing with the government, and get you harassed or imprisoned.
