I'm torn on this, given that I may also want to exercise this right as a creator, but ultimately, I would probably side with those who want to get rid of this right. In a society increasingly divided along party lines, the logical conclusion of this right would be that creators on each side deny businesses on the other side (and, consequently, the people on the other side) to consume their content. Hence there would be no more opportunities for shared cultural experiences. This would expedite the partisan divide even further, which is bad because we rely on some shared culture to keep our institutions functional and legitimised.
(Side note: In retrospect, this reads like I'm talking about the US society, but I'm not from the US. You can see the same rifts opening in other Western countries, although probably slower on most of them.)
