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.

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