I don't look down on those that make this decision - it's up to each person.
But either do it or don't do it. The constant false promises of "that's it for me" are more irritating than the actual reality of some fans choosing to stop rooting for this club.
At least from my POV.

I don't get what you're saying here. Is your position "if you don't watch the games and disagree with the way the organization is heading, shut up and go away?"
The number of games I actually watched this year can be counted on one hand, and even that felt like too much. This team isn't fun to watch, it's poorly built, and management appears to have no appetite for change. I follow what the team does on paper because I find trades, signings, and off-ice moves interesting. And I advocate for people to demand better of this organization because we often underestimate the power we have as fans. I think we've simply been conditioned to believe we're helpless and that we should just accept mediocrity as the norm.
It's not some vague threat of "I'm gonna stop watching, so there!" screamed into the void. Stop paying for garbage and you'll stop getting garbage. As fans we have a right to demand that from an organization we hand over our money to support, either willingly or through our tax dollars. Is that such an unreasonable stance?
