Wild take. To me, that isn't clear at all. Most people - including me - who simply don't really care aren't loud about it online.

It's like saying that obviously, everyone agrees that JK Rowling is a bad person that shouldn't be supported and needs to be boycotted. If your world view is made up of online forums that might very well seem to be the case, but in reality, the absolute vast majority of people couldn't care less about JK Rowling's political opinions, which is quite evident given the insane sales the Harry Potter franchise keeps pulling in.

The most likely scenario is that the vast majority couldn't care less about the Jensen Huang situation, and even if they did, they certainly wouldn't care enough to demand he resign or be booted.

The evidence for most people caring about this issue isn't the online discourse about it.

The evidence is their stock being down 8% since the news came out.

How else would you explain that drop?

And yet the stock drops 8.5 percent when the news comes out, it appears people do care huh?
