Quote:No, you misunderstood. I never said that 1% of all viewers would have to disconnect their cable. Only 10% of the viewers would have to switch channels in 10% of the cases where they didn't like what they saw. But maybe that's too much to ask. Just complaining is a lot less effort, after all, and it even gives you the feeling you are doing the right thing.
10% of viewers "boycotting" 10% of the time is equivalent to 1% all of the time. At least, it is in terms of its impact on advertisers, cable companies, and so forth.
