    It’s because most of the time, protests are just pageantry. Think about it- people hate despise YouTube with a passion, but refuse to ever leave it. In fact, they’re still trending toward growth.

    People always hate so many things, make public proclamations that everyone should boycott it- and yet, they privately continue using it. It’s a show. Nothing more than words.

    This isn’t to say that there are no instances of boycotts having an effect on a product or service, but I’ve yet to ever know about a successful one that didn anything meaningful. In the past decade or so.

    Look at Zuckerberg. He could fuck a 10 year old kid during the halftime show of a boxing match between Jake Paul and some other dipshit, and He wouldn’t lose a single Facebook user.

    The people that had the balls to bail on these services and products already did a while ago. The rest either don’t care or have a giant online presence of talking shit.
