Boycotts are generally tremendously ineffective Usually: yes. But there are exceptions. Nestlé still feels the aftershocks of the boycott about its despicable marketing practices of hawking baby formula to mothers unfit to use it in a proper way instead of breastfeeding their kids. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestl%C3%A9_boycott https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestl%C3%A9_boycott The boycott started in 1977 and actually did have an effect on how baby formula is marketed nowadays after they initially didn't give much of a shit. Granted. When you as a company are directly responsible for the death of thousands of infants then a boycott is easier to pull off than when Walt Disney prohibits selfie sticks in its theme parks. Just one counter example that boycotts can be effective if the circumstances are right.
