11. Damn ! I can't boycott any of those since I've never had anything to do with them.

Maybe I've seen something by Lucasfilm other than the first Star Wars, but I don't know what it could be.

Here:

And fwiw since the OP referenced them as well, here's Paramount:
the headline of which would be: CBS, Paramount+, Paramount Pictures, Miramax, Nickelodeon, MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, BET, Showtime

13. GoPro and Photobucket I'll have to remember, in case I ever use either one. Haven't so far.

Disney is part owner of all NatGeo media, as is (AFAIK) Murdoch. NatGeo has been pretty repetitive for a few years now, and has too much programming aimed at literal interpretation of the Bible, presented as if historical fact. No great loss to drop them.

The only one that really worries me is Comedy Central, home to the Daily Show. That raises a big red flag. How long will Jon Stewart and crew be around ?

That's it for me, out of the whole long list. Not a sports fan. Not a comic superhero fan. Not an all-CGI movie fans. Not a theme park fan. Disney and I are on the same planet, different worlds.

The irony is I loved Disney comics and movies as a kid. As an adult, I saw the Disney "product" turn so relentlessly squeeze-every-penny-from-the-market-you-can commercial I long ago ceased to have any interest in it.

10. I will not boycott absolutely everything

I like my ESPN. I need my sports fix because there's nothing else on TV worth watching but live sports.

I'm someone who picks my battles regarding boycotting. I'll join if we have a good chance of prevailing. But not if I have to give up my sports and nature documentaries.
