Disclaimer: I hate when headlines use "amid". Too often it suggests cause and effect that isn't there. Even when it doesn't, it's flabby writing. https://www.th

  But in this case, I do think the revenue drop and boycott are not just correlated.

    Almost certainly. Thus, using "amid" is flabby, and is a weasel word[1]. Either the story should present evidence the two are correlated so the headline can include causation without qualification, or the headline should stop after the initial statement, then leave off everything starting with "amid". 1. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/weasel%20word https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/weasel%20word
