"cancel culture" is about boycotting people for things they did in the past. Nobody can go back and change their past. Even if those people apologize and work to do better, they still get "cancelled" under cancel culture.
My problem isn't with holding people responsible for their actions, but with never letting up on them. If people can't change and relieve the sanctions against them, they have no incentive to change. They might as well just keep doing whatever they were doing.

The number of people cancelled by “cancel culture” is so minute. Can you list at least a handful of people who apologized but still got cancelled? I assume that means remaining cancelled too. It’s silly to call someone cancelled if they just have less work for a year but don’t go homeless or on welfare, or into debt, etc. in my opinion.
