Episode notes
Unsubscribe To Send Market Pressure
- Unsubscribe from paid tech services to send a market signal and save money.
- Small coordinated cancellations (e.g., ChatGPT paid plan, Amazon Prime) can hit company valuations and pressure CEOs.
Subscriptions Are The Market's Vulnerability
- Ten tech companies account for ~40% of the S&P and are highly sensitive to subscription growth.
- Targeting subscriptions creates disproportionate market effects relative to individual effort.
A Trigger Moment Sparked The Campaign
- Galloway launched Resist and Unsubscribe after a specific political moment that spurred him to act.
- He cited a controversial comment about a murdered nurse and used action to absorb his anxiety.
