So if the motivations are financial, then it isn't mob justice. It's just financial reasons. If they put on 22 minutes of someone taking a shit, people wouldn't watch that either. It would also get pulled. That's not mob justice.
Also, I started with financial reasons then said that even after those, there are reasons things get pulled that aren't financial. And no decision exists in a vacuum. New studio head, expect cancellations of shows that are otherwise doing well. Expect shows that were about to be in production get scrapped for the new head's pet project. To say that everything is purely financial is not only ignoring that people are not rational actors, but undercuts your point about mob justice.
Or makes everything mob justice. Taco Bell removes your favorite item due to poor sales: mob justice.
You are also saying that ABC was both driven by emotional motives and that it was solely a financial move. It can't be both.
And yes, people can be fallible. Sometimes they need a stern reprimand in order to reform. And when several of those stern reprimands don't work and you continue tweeting crazy conspiracy theories and borderline racist things, you get fired.
It's funny that you believe the Barr thing was a single, isolated incident. Just say what you want to say: That you're glad that that leftist cuck got fired because fuck PC culture.
