Nice. None of those “go woke go broke” boycotts ever actually materialize into meaningful business pressure.
Unless you’re fucking Cracker Barrel.
Cracker Barrel is so far in the red that the logo redesign was a hail mary move. They couldn't afford to lose the tiny number of people who still frequent their trash diners.
Which was manufactured outrage, spawned by a few Shitter posts which were then amplified by a huge bot network.
by russia too.
lol they are already on another "cracker barrel trend" right now, about a music performer making maga mad. also CB situation was fueled mostly by a certain propaganda source.
Most CEOs are generally bright enough to look at the sales data rather than all of the online rhetoric and if the sales data isn't going down they can ignore everything else.
Everyone knows the right are terrible at organising themselves, they need a central figure in lieu of that they never achieve anything. When they try and boycott something it generally fails because most of them will continue to use the service while declaring loudly online that their not. The right don't have actual moral values, other than selfishness.
