This has the same vibe as the “let’s all storm Area 51! They can’t stop all of us” / “don’t buy gas on these days” / “general strike” ideas that come up every so often online.
The problem is the prisoner’s dilemma calculus where too many people aren’t going to bother so it’ll never have enough momentum. The hassle of a shutoff or even a late fee is going to deter way too many people to make it effective. And since it’s a trial in the court of public opinion, it’s worth mentioning that the majority who don’t participate are not exactly going to be sympathetic.
