It will be interesting to see whether this is a 'real' boycott, or simply a convenient excuse for cutting ad spend. Alphabet (Google) is probably the most comparable company in terms of revenue sources, and their earnings were down 20% YoY for the first quarter. If Google's revenue is down by more than 20% as of their next report (by end of July), I think we can firmly say that the 'boycott' is just showmanship. I suspect this is the case, given the low fill rate for ad slots on Youtube right now.

It's just mass hysteria and companies who were going spend less anyway showing how socially responsible they are.
