Can't wait until they grow bold enough to remove titles from streaming services that people have actually paid for. Sort of like that Sony/Discovery spat last year but without the "lol, sorry, here you can have them back" waffling

This reminds me a bit of the 1960s BBC destroying all kinds of programs on tape because they didn't want to have to pay for the storage. Lots of shows lost as a result.

I was the first web designer for Comedy Central back in the mid 1990s. I made the 1st web site for The Daily Show (and all other shows too)— was just me and my boss, the webmaster. I remember making & posting the “5 Questions” every day.

This is messed up. As I remember TDS was at the forefront of shows releasing clips the next day online--they were doing it before any other show I watched anyway. This all seems like part of the plan every media/entertainment company seems to have to erase its own institutional history. & for what??

There was big talk about the “long tail” of media twenty years ago or so. Where pundits thought we’d get away from transient material that would only be available for a small number of years before disappearing. I guess anyone who bet on that is on a losing streak now.

Google similarly shifted all of the Unlisted videos by people who hadn't logged into YouTube from a while to Private, so they became inaccessible even if websites were embedding them. Next they'll say something about Private videos that haven't been "watched in a while".
