The suspension triggered strong responses across social media and beyond. Hashtags like #CancelDisneyPlus and #CancelHulu trended as users shared screenshots of their canceled subscriptions.

With cancellations surging, many subscribers reported technical issues. On Reddit’s r/Fauxmoi, one post read, “The page to cancel your Hulu/Disney+ subscription keeps crashing.”

    but let’s see where the boycott is in 6+ months after everything has cooled down

    It seems to me that once folks have discovered the joys of piracy, they rarely return to streaming.

    I wouldn’t know, because I wouldn’t download a car unless it was fully copyleft licensed.

        DO you interact with normal people?

        Not when I don’t have to, of course.

        most of them don’t even have a computer anymore.

        Sure, but motivated people seem to always find a way. Thumb drives work perfectly on phones now.

        Seems to me that great streaming services is what stopped Piracy from becoming the default option a decade ago.

        Now that the streaming services are enshsittifying, I suspect it’s a race between user friendly piracy tools and and one or more actual non-shit streaming services emerging.
