Like do they actually, reliably effect change in the way the activists intend?

Have they worked against Israel? Did they work against Apartheid South Africa? Could they work against Trump's America?

My hunch is that they don't, really, but can be a useful promotional tool for other issues. Like don't buy American is a simple message. If people will listen to that, they may listen to reasons why, which maybe could build a movement.

But on the whole I am very sceptical, and would be interested in any reasons for or against boycotts.

Depends. If a significant chunk of your userbase starts to leave you will have to rethink sooner rather than later.
