I am considering never listening again as this is the umpteenth time this has happened. Totally ruins my day.

much more effective to boycott their licensing operations, which is like 2/3rds of their revenue... hit them where it hurts and see if they will still stan for conservatives

I have already paid my license fee. Also is there any evidence through history that boycotting has ever worked?

Boycotts have worked, either entirely, or partially. obviously many have failed, but those that have worked have 4 basic traits: 1. Customers that care passionately about the issue 2. Low cost of participation 3. Easy to understand issue 4. Effective use of Media

i think that with just a hint of planning, this fits those criteria

Give me a concrete example from the past, I would genuinely really appreciate that. Also I just paid my license, sadly.

one good example is the Chic-fil-a LGBT boycott back in 2012... the 3 month boycott resulted in Chic-fil-a suspending all contributions to political groups that supported anti-LGBT legislation.

big companies tend to try and avoid getting involved in these disputes, because since the 80s, Brand image is a massive part of their overall valuation. Tarnishing their reputations can lead to massive losses, and rather than risk it, they will change practices

this doesn't mean that these campaigns don't sometimes have unintended consequences, and that capitalist enterprises wont pivot their strategies to keep the same agendas, but in cases like Chic-fil-a, they no longer use their brand as a political platform
