      It's not about profits it's an ideological cultural purge.

      I am surprised that nobody on Hexbear has called this book burning yet. I see it as book burning. They are purging media that they think is too "diverse" and too left leaning. It's a move that puts ideology before profits.

      Cartoons are one of the backbones of Warner Bros. legacy.

      Discovery doesn't care. They found out it's cheaper and more profitable to churn out endless "talking thumb men are assholes to each other" quasi-documentaries.

        I keep getting told that I should pirate modern media, but it looks like the vast chunk of it just isn't even worth pirating.
