I think streaming services have forgotten that their service is simply a luxury not a necessity. It's 2023, we all know how pirate and/or torrent content which is why I'll never understand why streaming services are so adamant about making their content almost inaccessible.

Back in November (I think) Disney took Avatar off of their platform because it was back in theaters. While I'm sure they made a few sales off of this, anyone that really wanted to watch the movie would just pirate it.

About a week ago, Disney took the episode Thanks to Them (The Owl House season 3, episode 1) off of their YouTube page. Now that episode is less accessible to the public and anyone who originally didn't have a Disney+ account is just going to pirate it.

Netflix has cancelled so many of their good shows (ie Inside Job, Dead End Paranormal Park, Warrior Nun, etc), their selection when it comes to shows is mediocre, and their only Netflix Originals that are worth watching anymore are Stranger Things (which is ending soon) and Arcane. But you can still pirate those.

Crunchyroll has put a lot of their stuff behind a paywall and all they did was turn me away from watching on their site to pirating. Hell, they put RWBY (the original series, not just Ice Queendom) behind a paywall even though you can watch every episode for free on RT's website.

I don't think I even need to bring up HBO.

Minimum wage is going down, there's too many streaming platforms that are becoming too expensive. So by putting shows behind a paywall, obviously more people are going to pirate and torrent content.
