May 9 - Polite Menace WBD During Q1 Earnings Conference Call

Everything below has been collected and curated by  @sonnetforbonnet

🚨 ATTENTION OFMD FANS 🚨

As many of you know, WBD will release their Q1 earnings report. At 8AM ET, they will hold a conference call. We need to make a lot of noise — but I think this needs to go beyond Twitter.

So, @sonnetforbonnet proposes we bring back the phone call campaign. 🧵

From tomorrow on May 9th at 8AM ET, to May 16th at 8AM ET, let's relentlessly call Max at (855) 442-6629. If necessary, add 001 or +1 for the area code.

  • 8AM ET
  • 12PM GMT
  • 5AM PT
  • 12AM NZST (May 10th)

What are we calling about?

Instead of trying to bring back the show, we're trying to speed up the changes in the streaming landscape that need to happen in order for OFMD to return. Namely, we need to put pressure on WBD for their poor business practices.

Example Script (Feel free to make changes):

"Hi! I'm calling due to my reservations concerning the direction of Max and WBD. For 2 years, they have slashed content, suppressed diversity, and promoted cheap reality projects and reboots over creative, original media.

Despite these measures to supposedly 'cut costs,' WBD stock has taken a significant hit in value, the company's film and TV output has lessened in both volume and quality, and audiences are fleeing in droves. And why wouldn't they?

WBD and Max have made it clear that they are willing to sacrifice anything for a few pennies. Coyote vs. Acme and Batgirl were given the cut, and popular shows on Max were taken off with no warning or explanation. No tax write-off could make up for the nosedive WBD is taking."

This will work best in combination with other measures. Adopt Our Crew has already made a post about being loud on social media, and what hashtag we can use:

Of course, we should use other avenues as well! Email too! Send in feedback forms! If the fax number is still active, fax! For those in the US, send in letters! The main thing? Don't. Stop. Talking. Use the hashtags, make some noise, and let's change things!

Here's some helpful threads from when we were calling back in January:
