The streaming services, from Commiezon to YouTube, only carry a show for a limited time. In about a year it will vanish to be replaced by some other show that they will also carry for a limited time.
Here I thought you were referring to the ‘video rental’ streaming ripoffs offered by several platforms wherein you pay extra for the privilege of streaming, then it goes away after a short period.
I also think the Netflix-style “here for some months then gone” had a day and is gone too. Still, having grown up with “if you want to watch this, you must be at the TV at X hour tuned to Y station for the duration” broadcast TV, this all seems like fussing over which luxury is better. (Also, most of this stuff is garbage, so who cares)
