Encapsulated in that “etc.” in my first response is “going out of business”. This type of response would be way too difficult to get actual numbers for, but it has worked countless times. Just look at all the businesses that are no longer in business at all, they went out of business because they were no longer earning enough to stay viable.
It doesn’t matter if the company connects the loss to a specific action (although it would be nice) since the end result is the same, after enough time.
Lastly, I just don’t like the idea of my dollars being used by a company to further an agenda that I don’t want to support.
The market of publishing houses is waaaaay too monopolized for that to take an effect. It’s like boycotting Amazon.
Ah yeah, that is sadly true. Too much lobbying and corruption for this to work the way it’s supposed to.
