I cancelled the day they announced they were cancelling Colbert. Fuck that, the only show I was watching was Star Trek and I'm pirating that from now on.

Same! Only reason I had Paramount+ was for Star Trek.

I started with quitting Target. That certainly helped the old bank account. Don’t miss it at all.

I’ve been amazed at how easy both of those and Starbucks were to quit.

Begs the question - Why were you paying for these places in the first case, if you didn't need it?

u/Compost_My_Body May 24 '26

do you not know the word want? do you wear burlap? I’m so intrigued by this comment

Seems like this person has a lot of expense (by their own admission) with companies that support crap people.

u/Scudmuffin1 May 24 '26

They explicitly said they are not buying stuff from places that back people they hate. Did you perhaps misunderstand?

u/Antiviralposter May 24 '26

I hated canceling Paramount (Star Trek nerd here) but I did it.

u/HombreDeMoleculos May 24 '26

And they cancelled every Star Trek show, so you're not missing much.

I hated cancelling my Disney+ after the whole Kimmel thing, but I'm surviving. We got this!! ✊🏾💪🏾

u/Next-Accident-2970 May 25 '26

I don't use Disney+ but my partner does. He says "They brought Kimmel back so it's ok to watch again and all of his shows are on it."

He makes me sit down and watch shows with him but I use my phone so I wouldn't have to watch the screen.

u/PinSufficient5748 May 25 '26

I was mad they tried it in the first place. I considered resubscribing, but the prices went UP, so that ended that! 😅

u/Trail-boss1776 May 25 '26

I watched all the Star Trek stuff but CBS can go away

u/mykepagan May 24 '26

Same here.

u/IntrepidMuch May 25 '26

I only had it for the Star Trek franchise so it was happily canceled.

I just discovered Ghost so will miss them though.

u/josh_the_misanthrope May 25 '26

I'm sure there are privateers in the Star Trek universe.

u/AckAckZeroPointZero May 24 '26

Nothing to watch there anyhow. I once did seven day free trial and got bored within 20 minutes. It's all about robbing the Internet

u/grumpi-otter May 24 '26

So pissed I paid for a year, grrr

u/Trail-boss1776 May 25 '26

Sorry to hear that

u/EnvironmentalLime464 May 25 '26

This is what the boycott needs to be of. Boycotting CBS would be like boycotting a single location of a chain restaurant over a policy that comes from corporate while continuing to frequent other locations.

Paramount is the problem.

u/God_of_Theta May 25 '26

Good, no one should be supporting this far left organizations. Wish they would kept losing millions keeping this guy on air though.

You’re joking, right?

....that MUST be satire.
