I wouldn’t discount how having that access to cartoons probably made them more friends on its own.

School may have been a long time ago for some of us, but I don’t think buddying up with the kids who could get you access to things has ever fallen out of style.

Exactly this. I understand the cynicism, but it ultimately doesn’t matter what the motivation of a company walking back a poor decision is. We take the chance for mutual collaboration and hopefully everyone benefits.

On an individual level, that’s when people can evaluate if they still want to boycott and do whatever their own moral compass demands. But refusing to work together at this point just means we definitely don’t get the chance in the future to steer things in a better direction.
