Not defending the guy, he seems an ass but he is also seemingly not that involved with the company anymore.
Watt stepped down from BrewDog's daily operations last year after 17 years but retains his ownership stake and holds the title of “captain and co-founder” in a non-executive role.
The company apologised and promised to learn from the situation, though they later faced backlash for reversing a pledge to pay real living wages.
So maybe rather lookup what he currently does and boycott that if you can.
- If he retains an ownership stake doesn't that mean he still takes home the profit of Brewdog so boycotting would still be effective/desirable?
  
  Only in the form of dividends, if brewdog pays them.
  
  So "yes".
  
  As a shareholder he has no say in that. The company directors say how much dividend is paid, and he is no longer one of them.
  
  he has no say in that
  I don't understand why you're telling me this.
  
  I'd think so
