Like I said, it looks like that "collective punishment" thing commies like.
Seems the woke think all Russians are responsible for the actions of the government and military involved in the invasion.
(I imagine the MSM and "soycial" media is encouraging the "cancelling" of Russian people as well.)

People want to feel like they're doing something, specifically something "right". And be seen doing it by their peers. Russia is clearly the aggressor here, so it's easy to do.
On the other hand, it's also meant to make regular Russians feel the consequences of their government's actions, and responsibility for letting it happen.
Whether Russians like it or not, their government is representing them on the geopolitical scene. You can't just go "dindu" while your own government launches a war of conquest, and your fellow countrymen terrorize and kill people in the neighboring country, destroying their cities in your name.
Something should've been done about Putin long time ago, revolution is long overdue. But the generation that was in position to do so was raised in USSR, they were brought up to obey and worship the state, follow the leader even off the cliff edge. They can't think for themselves when it comes to these things.
Russian boomers let the freedom slip through their fingers, and they haven't even noticed that they had the opportunity to build a prosperous country instead of yet another miserable dictatorship.
Perhaps we simply deserve the punishment. If anything, falling quality of life and empty fridge would make people mad enough to do something about this situation, bottom line being what it is. It's 50/50 if Russians start eating each other or the government.
Peoples' power is in the numbers, and opposition in Russia just doesn't have them, or capable leaders to organize a coherent movement (the only one I can think of is rotting in jail).
For years Russian propaganda been railing on the West for supposedly wanting to destroy Russia, yet it enjoys many of its technological and cultural developments. It's only fair to let them have their life without the "Western corruption", see how they fare.
Honestly? Fuck them.

It's a lame attempt to try and force them into Jan 6ing the Kremlin so they can end up being locked in a cell or worse like the Jan 6 people were. The retarded part is the people cheering the Russians on to overthrow their government are cheering on the imprisonment of the Jan 6 people and think it's the worst thing that has every happened in the world.

Various reasons: for consumer goods/services especially, it'll be a large dose of "corporate virtue signalling" and therefore PR value, but there are also some quite practical reasons.
It's not actually easy at all, doing business with a country that's subject to strict international sanctions. Most large corporations, for instance, will operate local subsidiaries in target countries. They'll also, often, sell to other local businesses rather than directly to the consumer. Money needs to flow in and out. Supply chains have to function. It's all rather risky businesses when any number of factors necessary for you to operate could fold under pressure, or fall victim to new sanctions on any given day.
When you're thinking of something like OnlyFans in particular, it's also, essentially, a media platform business. Sure, it's mostly known for a particular type of content - but there's nothing about the technology as such that means it can't be used to propagate political content just as easily. You could always deliver your criticism of Putin and news on Russian set-backs entirely naked, just to keep in with the general branding situation. As a business, at that point, you're looking at a legal risk, might be banned, fined or otherwise sanctioned ... so why not pull out first and get some PR for it? It makes good sense!
The firm that has pulled out that I am most familiar with is more in the B2B space. Sound business decision in my mind: total value of the Russia business was minuscule in comparison to the overall operation, local client base consisted of "likely to be folding under sanctions", and it's not exactly as though anyone internationally is queuing up to have their business served from Russia at present.
I'm not saying sanctions and withdrawal of businesses don't hurt average citizens. They do! The very notion of "smart sanctions" is pure hypocrisy. What I am saying is that sanctions are essentially the modern equivalent of medieval sieges: literally starving the other side to death may no longer be the goal, exactly - systemic collapse to force them to their knees absolutely is.
