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.”

Sad that all we can do to prevent literal fascism is unsubscribing from a streaming service

Let's not talk as if it's all we can do; it's one action amongst many. Besides, let's not forget that these companies would 1000% be in favor of democracy if they thought it was profitable. They're fascists, but if their ideals hurt their bottom line, they'll change their tune, because they have shareholders to appease.

Let’s be realistic: not preventing, more like protesting

It's not all you can do but it's one of the easier things you can try

Talking with your wallet is the best thing you can do, honestly. Against any company.

Unintended consequence of capitalism: all the eggs in one basket makes for a much easier target lol

Yeah, I don't have a subscription, so I guess I'll just shrug and upvote 🤷‍♂️

The most powerful force on earth is the consumer. Don't mock or dismiss the power you have. Embrace it.
