Yes it's an excellent example of crony capitalism for sure

Not really. It's an example of consumers voting with their wallets. Views and actions that are unpopular enough to impact the bottom line are stopped, ones that aren't unpopular enough to have an appreciable impact are allowed to continue.

Really, "cancel culture" is just the "if you don't like it, don't buy it!" strategy capitalists like touting being employed on a large enough scale to actually change something. The only difference between it and smaller-scale applications of that strategy is that it's working, which is pissing off conservatives because they convinced themselves that the viewpoints in question were too unpopular to ever reach such a point.
