    i read this as something like ‘we had a deal to rent the show to a different service but that fell through…’

      Or, we tried pulling content to see if we could somehow save money, but the backlash was higher than expected, so we’ll try it again in a little while with another show, and eventually we’ll just stop bringing it back. Prices will increase.

        Prices will increase

        as always.

        cut costs, raise prices on the now-cheapened product. if sales don’t continue to go up anyway, raise prices even more to compensate. must have infinite profit growth regardless of consequence. the struggles of a public company are just so heartbreaking.
