There are two types of boycotts:
1. Mass actions by large groups of people using social media and stuff. These amount to absolutely nothing, are a waste of time and exist only to make the participants feel good.
2. Semi silent boycotts by individual people like you and me that slowly snowball until the companies in question start loosing money. That makes them take notice. And lacking any overt leadership to bribe, open demands to cave into or defy and generally any input they either shape up or collapse.
I think that's just called "a company making a product people don't want."
