I only watched Colbert on Youtube so I don’t use CBS. Boycotting CBS is almost unnecessary, due to the dwindling footprint of network television in general.
CBS cancelled it’s best show to lick a pedos nut
It would be great if the Kimmel Show hired him as a regular guest, or a small segment each week. Trump would lose his mind.
They also ruined 60 minutes and the evening news. They’ve shat on their best programming. There is no reason to watch.
don’t you hate it when you want to boycott a product, but you never used it anyways?
I feel it about Chik-fil-a. I would boycott them for their anti-LGBTQ+ bullshit, but I already boycott them for having the most basic bitch chicken that only marginally surpasses Cane’s (the blandest chicken ever) in terms of flavor.
Or Hobby Lobby because we only have Micheal’s out here.
Its chikn…for white people
On the other hand, I grew up drinking more coke than water. it was always in my house growing up. And was my go to drink until a few years ago. Boycotting them was a pain for me. I’m so happy some shops now sell Palestine Cola. Besides that using a boycott app makes groceries a pain in the tusch
Pretty easy to boycott CBS when the only thing on CBS I watched was Colbert 🤷♂️
Same except I only watched Colbert on Youtube.
Star Trek stuff on Paramount wasn’t terribad, but it’s all canceled now so /shrug - Colbert was the last thing remaining for me.
Yeah, the Star Trek on Paramount predicament has not made me a “happy camper.”
How do you boycott a network if you already don’t watch any other shows on it?
Don’t stop
By not posting links to CBS News on Lemmy. Don’t give them your clicks.
Block them at the dns level
thier power lies in thier subscriptions, the less people subscribed to paramount+, which apparently is already hemmorhaging money from the streaming services, thier costs get higher. Also nutrek is likely whats keeping it alive for the moment, even though they cancelled most of the shows.
If you’re watching Colbert on YouTube, you aren’t watching anything on CBS
of course if you have to watch it, USE adblock, so youtube and cbs does not get any ad revenue.
You’re just trading one terrible company for another.
Best practice is to pirate that shit. 😌
same. PARAMOUNT also is in huge debt for buying the network with CNN in it, compounding the debt of PARA+ itself, they are going to spend billions keeping it barely at float+ oracles datacenters costs. I think fans of trek seem quite ignorant of ellison being the owner of Paramount+, I HAVE Never seen any of them criticize the network(they probably dont want to ruffle the feathers), eventhough nutrek is pretty bad representatin of old trek, if not the exact opposite.
Spread the boycott.
Tell your friends, tell your family. Have them do the same. Be a link in the chain.
Boycott their advertisers
This is most effective when people pick one at a time.
i’ve been boycotting CBS since they announced Stephen’s cancellation. as of last Thur, my CBS watched dropped to 0 👍
CB what?
Both the left and the right support this.
I’ve been boycotting CBS since 2004!
I wonder if they’re aware of the irony of posting this to X. I checked their profile and they use Threads as well. Also, why is their location in Nigeria?
I googled the name and the only thing that came up was a reddit profile posting similar content with the handle zak_jony
Lots of people in developing nations are taking jobs playing multiple characters on X. When X started displaying country of origin on each account, a lotta popular MAGA accounts were outed as Nigerian or Indian or similar. With AI, people can catfish the whole internet on a whole new level.
Yep, and we shouldn’t be amplifying them by posting here
Actually he probably just informed people of the problem, instead of pretending it doesn’t exist.
Could be that they set their location to Nigeria for shits and giggles like how I set my Chess dot com location to Aland and Steam is set to Antarctica. Could also be a bot farm though, kinda a coin flip on that one. Oh also they moved to Nigeria for some reason.
Sure yeah #votblue
Easiest boycott on my list.
Insert: I’m gonna boycott even harder now!
I cancelled my CBS+ the moment they fired Colbert.
I haven’t seen any new Star Trek since.
Yaaaarr
Piracy is awesome
I started boycotting CBS the moment the Ellisons bought it. I won’t watch any of their news programs, local or national. There might be an occasional TV show, but I’ll try to download it instead.
I may pirate NFL games even if they are on local TV. Fuck em
I will continue to never watch network TV.
You can block them in Adguard Home. I did that, so no Paramount+ or CBS on my network, or any of our own devices anywhere. If our accommodation/adventure guests complain, I’ll tell them to use their own data.
