The trend of streaming services removing content is very concerning to me. HBO started the trend (as far as I can tell) by removing a number of their animated series, the Batwoman movie, and Westworld for "tax write-offs." Many of these shows were never released on DVD, so there is no legal way to watch them anymore.
This is a huge blow in terms of perseveration (though there are copies floating around the high seas), but it must be a truly heartbreaking notion if you're one of the creators who birthed these projects.
These corporations are blatantly saying that the art their employees create is worth basically nothing to them and reveals what most of us already knew, that to these corporations there is no such thing as artistic merit.
