Netflix lost 800,000 customers because the company raised their rates.
After that, the stock took a 30 % loss and it continues to drop. This
happened one week ago. So, boycott is still an excellent way to
utilize everyone, no matter who or where they are.

We as consumers have a lot more power than imagined.

The most successful boycott in US history was the grape boycott
protesting not only the inhumane way that migrant workers were
treated, but also against the farmers that hired these workers over
Americans. A similar situation exists today. (Source: Documentary
Film: Food Inc. 2008 )

Here is a link about the grape boycott.

And, here is another list of successful boycotts throughout the world
