The people who are supporting the channel appear to be anti-capitalist types supporting the woke community, but they can't accept that they are in the minority. |
A person can be supportive of something they don't use or something they aren't interested in. E.g. a person without children being glad CBeebies exists, or parents for a hobby their child does but they don't particularly like personally, or a bloke down the pub that a menopause support group exists. People can simply be supportive of something that benefits others.
People who don't consume something Channel 4 is involved with may be glad it provides something for others, or approves of the principles on which it was founded even if they personally haven't used it.
