I remember that! I think a FAN wound up sending her a bootlegged DVD, or something, or they wouldn't even let her have the show files. Jesus.
Typically the streamers will like put out one thing I want to see and it's easy enough to find elsewhere, but if one company is making enough good stuff, that does seem like something I want to support. But like you say, Apple TV is a raging symptom of what's wrong about the streaming industry right now.
There is so much good stuff to watch! But it also makes me feel so guilty, because the streaming industry is fucking the creators over so hard without lube right now. Even after the strike. It's like when the pro publishers decided, no, we own the rights to ebooks, and we'll get all the money from them, because the dead writer didn't specifically sign for the electronic rights in like 1965! Jesus.
