Unfortunately I can’t cancel, as I’m not a subscriber. I’ll at least go and hammer refresh on their cancellation page with caching turned off.
You should ddos the subscribe page instead.
This
damn why didn’t I think of that
That’s just making it harder for people who actually want to quit.
… and I added abc.com and disney+ to dns rewrite in my network to group pointing to ip 666.666.666.666. So no disney for anyone visiting our accommodation and outdoor adventures. They can watch it over their own data.
Whatever software you’re using needs to scrub its input better.
What?
666 isn’t a valid octet for IPv4. Whatever DNS resolver your using shouldn’t allow it in the field.
Obviously. But Adguard allowed it somehow
Why would you make it harder for people to cancel?
I feel sad that I can’t boycott these spineless cowards because I haven’t been a customer since forever.
I never was a customer, so I’m not sure what to do in this situation?
Seed more?
I suggest more pirate hats. People should be pirating TV and NFL. They do not deserve the money especially the NFL since they love to dig deep inside trump ass .
For people that wanna watch football and not support them, try nflbox.

Combined.
Football? The American version? No thank you…lol.
Hockey is better.
Yes it is but I’m going to those so I don’t helping the networks with views.
Either way that website has all the sports not just NFL. Ppv as well. :)
They took it down to stop cancellations. The mass exodus hopefully continues.
America is built on shareholders getting profits. If they don’t make money, things change.
Yeah, there’s no chance a company like Disney can’t serve a SPA for cancellation at this scale. This is deliberate.
I definitely know what SPA means in this context but could you explain for everyone else?
Single Page Application. I usually associate it with a fairly complicate web “page” that dramatically remakes itself in the browser, but is typically lightweight on the backend.
I would assume this is even simpler than “SPA” would suggest.
Yeah I wasn’t even aware of the term SPA, but in this case I’d have simply called that a form. Form web pages are almost as old as the web itself.
Release another popular show and people will come back. Political activism by not watching tv is the bottom of the barrel.
MONEY is all they care about. So it matters.
Can they? At least on the marvel and star wars side they’ve been releasing pure garbage.
Political activism by withdrawing payment is the most powerful form of activism.
I remember French Revolution being a tat more than cancelling a Star Wars account.
I don’t understand what that’s supposed to mean.
It means the only way to get shit moving is to chop heads.
France just didn’t know the cheat code. America started putting the white and black slaves against each other after a revolt. And it worked so well the elite have continued it.
I think “thoughts and prayers” are the bottom of the barrel. This is actively withholding money from Disney. And Disney LOVES money. If enough people stop giving Disney money, then the “line goes up” people will not get tens of millions of dollars and they’ll have to take some action. This isn’t a meaningless gesture. Obviously it depends on how many people cancel their subscriptions. How’s spotify doing nowadays?
You are right. There is always lower. But it would be naive to bet on internet hype for having any consequences. Yes , you, me, many here, might change purchasing behavior for longer. But this is a microcosm and such a tiny fraction of the mass.
Maybe you are young and full of hope and I am old and already disenchanted. Don’t change.
Maybe you are young and full of hope and I am old and already disenchanted. Don’t change.
i too feel old and tired. Sometimes i make comments like you did. We should change.
we should stay as allies of the young who have the energy to believe in change
It doesn’t take a lot of pressure to make a company cave, the James Gunn saga is one example.
If this causes a noticeable drop in revenue for them, they will care.
The problem is, there was no reason to cave. Likewise there is no reason for Kimmel to even come back if they can waffle so easily, he doesn’t need the money and could probably shop a show on cable somewhere to have more say in how he can make fun of a current administration however fascist they wanna play or how much they want to play the victim.
You’re not wrong, I personally didn’t even like Kimmel, but money walks, and I hope it still has some speech left to it.
Yeah honestly never cared much for him. Which last time I checked meant you just didn’t watch him. But apparently that’s just another difference between me and tangerine palpatine.
From what I understand based on Colbert’s monologue, their motivations for suspending Kimmel is completely monetary based. ABC affiliate company Nexstar made a $6.2 billion deal to acquire TEGNA Inc and Disney which owns ABC made a deal to get some NFL assets in exchange for a 10% stake in ESPN (valued at around $3 billion).
Both of these acquisitions will need FCC approval to go through. Take a guess at what they’re willing to do to get that approval.
Sinclair is already a monopoly that holds 100x more influence than any company should ever be allowed… therefore all participants motivations are entirely criminal; only to further entrench their pre-existing illegal monopoly.
Disney has a lot of power though. They control alot of media. What food is an affiliate who can’t broadcast anything.
It won’t cause a noticeable drop more than having their broadcasting license revoked, which is what they were threatened with. Kimmel will likely cave.
That would be a blatant first amendment violation. Their capitulation is the only thing making the threat function.
No it “would” not be, it is. Don’t know if you’ve noticed but our gov hasn’t cared about the constitution for a long time, and no time less than today where people are being deported and imprisoned in concentration camps with no due process.
Trump has gone on record saying he does not care about the law.
Do you see national guard troops in Chicago? Guess what, there’s still limits as long as we stop giving ground.
Yes they are in the one legal exception, federal territory. Thank you for emphasizing my point for me. There are still limits as long as we don’t give up and keep pushing back. People like you lamenting “it doesn’t matter anymore” online constantly are just unwitting propaganda mouthpieces for the fascist takeover.
I certainly did see them canvassing DC. I am not “giving” anything. I’m just discussing the finances of the situation.
But they won’t really care, in a moral sense, they’ll just do what helps them make money. They’re all soulless.
I mean just cause your government thinks corporations are people, they are not.
I don’t believe my government does. I’d have to check the UK though.
Not to sound like a broken record, but this is again a real world example of why corporations aren’t people. The entire point of forming a corporation is to make a company completely devoid of individual responsibility. It becomes its own entity, but that entity is a machine. Each individual within the company is just following a predetermined set of rules/orders.
They’ll always just do what helps them make money over what is moral, but I don’t even believe that’s a disparaging remark as much as a factual one. It’s just how corporations are meant to work.
Corporations are absolved of moral responsibility just like any machine. Since the ends have already been predetermined, the closest to individual autonomy humans have is the decision to participate or not.
Either they make money, or they don’t survive. Starving corporations by not feeding them your money is literally the only way to force them to change their predetermined survival strategy or perish. It’s also why huge conglomerates that take away any choice in support are such a threat. If we keep allowing them, ultimately, humans will probably be forced to either just give in to the machine or boycott modern society altogether.
I’d agree with your comment, if it were posted ten years ago. We are already there. I cannot get any of the materials I need as a science teacher without going through fucking Amazon. There isn’t a single laboratory supply store I can find in the metro area I live in with a population of 5-million+. I can’t purchase anything without going online. Every utility is run by a corporation actively grifting the citizens, because it has complete control over whether they live or die. Every single thing I do requires either completely cutting myself off from another aspect of society or capitulating to a corpofascist monopoly or cabal of pedophilic oligarchs.
That is my point. Eventually if we keep letting everything become a giant conglomerate the choice will be a complete drop out and go live in the woods and wait for the machine to destroy itself or completely give up and just accept this is our only choice.
In the meantime, I know there are already things where this is the only choice. There is no reason to keep subscribing to Disney Plus, but when it comes to the things you can’t completely stop, just reduce where you can. It makes a difference.
I used to rely on Amazon for everything just bc it was convenient. There are some things I still do rely on it for, but I have cut waaay back on purchases from there. If I can get it somewhere else, I will.
If people would have gotten this upset back when it was Medi Hassan and Joy Reid we might not have gotten here.
Just the cancellation page? That’s not suspicious at all…
I’m sure it’s antifi’s doing
We could use some antifu right now.
The GOP could use a lot of antifeces at the risk of losing brain function.

Me, who has been pirating without breaks since Limewire existed and the closest I got to these services was Hulu before they got sued (back when it was free): Yarr matey.

I used it for Bob’s burgers which i listen to when going to sleep and for my kid to have some shows to watch.
Canceled em, though. Told em they were coward who bent to Nazis.
To be fair it’s the best place for Star Wars and Marvel content. But there are other means of acquiring such media, which I will not divulge on the internet.
People forget Disney was founded by a nazi.
One single page crashed? Crazy!
Well that page should be controlled by a load balancer sent to several servers to handle the load. Strange for a corporation at that level to not mitigate traffic and get ddos by its customers.

In a company with their money? When their service is made to handle huge amounts of data for streaming? Yeah, pretty crazy.
