That was just dumb. She just threw away 100k followers. If I was a broke bitch with nothing bu tome on my hands, I would open up my own ashantinews page and take those followers.

Some things are more important than followers and internet likes.......

You know, like principles.

Also, I'm sure this person runs other pages. It's not like Ashanti was moving the needle like Beyoncé........

They're standing on business

Being a fan is a choice......

Being black isn't
So are yall going to stop using Instagram, Facebook, Chat GPT, Google and Amazon etc.?

Because they all donated millions to Trump but I'm sure they wont be met with the same energy and vitriol aimed at the people that look like us.

I guess it's ok to donate millions to Trump as long as you don't perform. Got it.

The platforms donated to both sides...... they have all done so.

Some people absolutely left X because of Elon and his antics

Zuck and Bezos are kissing the ring as most spineless rich people would.....

You know you wasn't there? Mark Cuban, he stood on business.

Bezos doesn't even run Amazon anymore, but he knows Amazon needs trump to help dominate the world...... and his stock/ wealth will go through the roof

They donated millions to the Inaugural Fund and they didn't have to.

Why are we canceling Nelly and Snoop but we continue to patronize Zuck and the gang?

Is it crabs in a barrel? Self hate?

Unfortunately, they had no choice but to donate. These companies conduct global business and require policies that favor them.
Zuck gave $0 (zero) to Biden inauguration compared to $1 million to Trump.

Tim Cook (Apple) gave Biden inauguration 43k compared to $1 million to Trump.

So yes they do have a choice.

They just know we won't do shit about it but point fingers and cancel eachother.

The difference between Biden and Trump lies in the fact that the CEOs were aware that Trump would directly retaliate against them, while Biden, on the other hand, might either indirectly retaliate against them or not.

They are already in position where they don't have to kiss the ring if they don't want to. They are mega corporations with enormous profits.

Microsoft didn't donate.

Unfortunately, they did. I watched that new segment on CNBC last week, and they even sent a representative. These people are playing a game of chess, not checkers. We need to put aside our personal feelings about the situation and capitalize on opportunity

I'm not mad at the corporations. I understand the game.

I was just wondering why the people that are so mad at Nelly and Snoop to the point where they are canceling them don't get mad at the corporations for doing worse.

They still use there products and services everyday like business as usual.

Nelly and Snoop do not affect their everyday life, but those big corporations that you named do. I don’t know the exact percentage, but if I had to guess off the top of my head, I would say 95% of the people in this country use at least one service or product from one of these four companies: Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Walmart. There is no getting around one of those four companies in this country. That’s a fact.

This is from 2020

How Amazon Quietly Powers The Internet. Amazon controls 33% of the market

Most of the companies you named provide a necessary service for which there is no reasonable alternative.

When there is a reasonable alternative, people are more than happy to stay away from the undesirable companies.

Nelly is only necessary to Ashanti.

Facebook, Ig, Amazon, Apple etc are not necessary services.

We could make a lot of these companies bend to our will if we withheld our dollar and support.

We just don't want to be inconvenienced to that extent, which let's me know we are not really serious about change.

It's much easier to blame Snoop and Nelly and make it there fault than to give up our precious Instagram and Amazon.

Smartphones are necessary in 2025. Good luck finding one that fulfills the needs of millions of people that isn't related to Apple, Google, Microsoft, etc.

Computers are necessary in 2025. Half of the programs you'd want to use won't work on Linux which leaves you with Windows and MacOS.

There are a ton of small businesses and self employed people that rely on Facebook, IG, YouTube, etc. Without those platforms, they literally can't sustain their business.

Social media platforms are also sometimes the only way to get certain information or to network with people.

There are plenty of scenarios where the only way to get something that you need and to get it the same day or next day is through Amazon.

Have you heard of Goya? How about My Pillow? People are definitely willing to speak with their wallets.
