I don't even like Jimmy Kimmel, but I cancelled too. Don't fuck with the 1st amendment.

Clickbait. Friggin article never mentions what"drives" means. I was hoping to find out 1 million people cancelled or something, but it just mentioned a few specific people.
Also, they didn't mention me. :(

Do we have any numbers?
Nope, just thoughts and prayers.
If you're boycotting, here you go. Ahoy!
I'll miss Kermit, but I was already skipping most of that.
i always look at these seriously and then realize i havent subbed to a single one ever
Lol me either. Their services are not nearly as good as the unauthorized streaming sites.
I think this chart might be a bit dated, I'm fairly certain Disney has taken full control of Hulu, not 67%

Already done. I like Star Wars, but oh the fuck well.
Yeah, and even if you did just get it by other means.

Thanks for the reminder!
"come back and cancel anytime"
What the fuck is that wording?
Hulu, is everything OK at home?

Nothing in the article mentions how many people actually unsubbed...
Of course not. This article was written using vibes.
It's vibe reporting.
Because Newsweek is a rag. If they reported that the sky was blue, I'd go outside and check myself
Only Disney has those numbers, and releasing them would tank the stock that's already dipping.
There is zero reason for them to admit what is happening.
Also of note, trump is pushing for it to go from quarterly to (I think) annual reports, so companies will be able to hide this stuff for longer, the whole time doing insider trading.

Oh fuck yes I would.
Yes, yes I would.
If I could download a car, you bet your ass I would!
I'd even make copies of that car for all my friends, just like I do now.

Don't forget, Hulu is owned by Disney too. Honestly, I'm done with video streaming at least for a while. I never have time anymore to watch anything so it's just a money suck and physical media is better anyway.
CBC Gem has a ton of awesome stuff, and is worth it for Schitt's Creek alone. Free with ads too (may not be the case outside Canada though)

I don't even watch Kimmel but the mouse is out
Yeah, I don't watch him often, and when I do, I'm not a fan. But I'll absolutely do whatever I can to express how much I dislike him being cancelled.
