Yeah I had that happen too with Westworld being wiped from HBO so they could “show it to other markets”. We’ve reached cable 2.0, not sure what comes next but they’ll have to find something to slow the rise of piracy again.

The problem is that kids are too lazy to torrent and have accepted the overly corporatized internet. They grew up on phones, with loud, annoying, unblocked ads. If it works they'll just continue to throw money at it, even if the service is garbage. They literally just don't know better. Most of them just watch 480p streams if they do pirate at all, but otherwise are just accepting of how shitty everything is because they never experienced anything better.
