    I saw that shit on Disney plus.
    Immediately cancelled my sub.

    I’d like to support content creators. They work hard, deliver their dream. And early on, a large delivery network is desirable! But if that provider enshitifies beyond my threshold, they are dead to me.

    So set sail!

      I saw that shit on Disney plus.

      What, and I mean this will all my soul, the actual fuck?

      I don’t give a single wet shit who the president is, why in the chocolate covered fuck is a streaming media content platform pushing that shit? Really glad I never gave them any money, and the subscription we had always a friend’s.

        They also live streamed the debates, so this isn’t unusual for Disney. I think they have some live channels as well, so it probably falls under that portion of the service.

      Hulu advertised this today. Like… What the fuck? How much did the oompa loopa pay you, Disney? They know we don’t want to watch this.
