Something that just occurred to me: it’s nice to see a thread about cancelling that actually correctly recognizes the entity that did it.

It’s the companies that actually cancel. It’s good people aren’t saying the voting companies cancelled him. And hence why saying angry audiences “cancel” people is clearly false. Ultimately, the decision is always up to their employer.
