Indeed, they are mostly OK with the "right" people being "cancelled", just as long as they can continue to scream into the void about the "wrong" people being "cancelled".

Oh, goody, we're back to 'd4m10n believes podcasts should continue to be made whether or not the podcast personnel can continue to work together or whether or not the audience has rejected the podcast' as examples of cancel culture having run amock.
Your inability to articulate what it in them or why anyone else would care to hear them doesn't demonstrate that you listen to them. Or, perhaps you 'don't recall' what's in them as you 'don't recall' any other part of the discussion? Either way...spamming a podcast is going to get you the same interest the spam emails I get every day get.

Or, perhaps it is too much effort to summarize three different people giving three different arguments from three different perspectives when they don't even bother to take turns in a formalized Oxford style debate. I get that you're not going to listen, but you've not made a persuasive argument against posting links to the "cancel court" segment since it's directly on topic here.
On that note, here is the next one:

It's about Dr. Leana Wen this time.

Speaking of podcasts about cancel culture, here are a few audio segments from The New Yorker:

(I've only heard the first one so far.)

Wait, I didn't convince a spammer to stop spamming by pointing out that spamming links won't get people to go to them? Color me shocked! Why, spammers are usually known to be rational people who don't post annoying ads over and over again!

Not sure why anyone would think an audio segment about cancellation is spam in a discussion thread about cancellation. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The discussion about Dr. Wen seemed particularly on point.

How do we know what it's about? You, the one spamming us with the links, seem unable to describe the points made in the podcast you're spamming us with.

Just have a listen. The intro to "cancel court" pretty much explains the concept of the segment in around 15 seconds.

Spammer continues to attempt to get people to listen to a podcast he can't give the details on, explain any points made, or give any other reason to listen to it other than because the spammer himself recommends it.

Probably because you just post links (to your twitter, which then links somewhere else...) and cajole people to go there.

Because it's a "discussion thread" and not a "post links to videos without discussion" thread.
If you don't have anything to say about it, why are you posting it as part of a "discussion"?
I've read the link to a written discussion of the subject in post #2492. I think it's a perfect example of cancel culture - what do you think?

Another person who is unable to describe any of the points made in the podcast tries unsuccessfully to convince people to read/listen to the spammed article by...not being able to give anyone a reason to read/listen to the article other than that it fits your prejudices.
How do you know it fits my or anyone elses' prejudices if you haven't watched/read anything about it?

Because....you said it did.
eta: Read the thread. There isn't even a consensus on what cancel culture is, whether it's a new phenomenon, or what counts. That you think this spammed link is a perfect example of something shows that you are already prejudiced to believe that cancel culture exists, and that you know what counts as cancel culture.
