Which format do you think would be a better fit?

How about this one?, e.g.:

Israel: "Let's wait till the verdict before WE CONDEMN THE UNANNOUNCED ICC ARREST FOR NETANYAHU!"

That's why we need more adoption.

Holy shit! Can that be any more drawn out and boring?

Unironically: That's really cool of you. :)

Welcome to (late stage) capitalism.

The market of publishing houses is waaaaay too monopolized for that to take an effect. It's like boycotting Amazon.

Name one instance where that worked when it wasn't connected to a massive public outcry. Do you remember the Call of Duty "boycott"? Ubisoft is still in business, too.

Also, the majority of book buyers don't know or care about this verdict.

Also also: The publishers won't even be able to correlate the "lost" revenue of individual people boycotting with their shitty behavior. It's not "Oh, we sold 1000 less copies of this book than expected, because we fought the archive." It's more: "Our predictions were off by 1000 copies. No idea if that's because of some tangible factor, or just 'noise'."

I really appreciate the sentiment, but sadly: Individual boycots that aren't attached to a concertated campaign sadly don't work. Pirate away, but you can be certain that these publishers don't know that you exist.

How old are you?

Needs more colors which are harder to read, less fun joke and more AI garbo. /s

My point is that it's also ugly.

To me, that's just the case for camera and calendar. Maps is IMHO perfect (except the unnecessary G) and the red-and-white envelope is quite well-known.
