I don't know about mobs, but I do know I'd never tie my livelihood (whether working for or taking contracts) with a company that I knew knee-jerked into reactionary SJW action based on context-free social media hearsay, because who wants that hanging over their head 24/7? That doesn't even really need a mob. People can individually decide to work for these groups or not and reap what they sow. That's a little distinct from cancel culture overall, though, since there's still the question of boycotting people/organizations who demonstrably have done unethical things or hold unethical views. I tend to compartmentalize the work from the person more than some, but I don't begrudge people wanting to distance themselves from that - only when they do so without evidence of actual wrongdoing.
