- oblio 6y agoDoes "cancelling" even work against corporations? I'm finding it hard to think of any corporation that went away because they stopped being cool. Plenty of corporations went under because they no longer had a product-market fit, that's for sure :-)

There was a story a couple years ago about students complaining some history topic made them feel upset (slavery maybe?) and demanding something be done about that.
