I rewatch the series constantly. I'm probably going to cancel my subscription. It also looks like Family Guy may be the next to go. Shit move on both FOX and Netflix's part. Fucking money.

One of my favorite shows. Netflix is consistently hit of miss with movies; whenever I need background noise or comfort I play American Dad or Family Guy.

My life is ova.

Yeah a bunch of Fox shows were removed in the last month. Hulu or torrent.

Money, I assume. Netflix didn't renew the contract with a bunch of FOX shows. So I assume Fox demanded insane amounts of money and Netflix was like nah.

And the consumers were just like aww.

I hate my life.

Nothing on Hulu interests me. There's no value besides American Dad/Family Guy. At least Netflix has good movies now and then.

It's hilarious when people complain about Netflix not renewing a licensing contract and then also complain about a rate increase to help pay for the cost of said licensing contract.

People have an incredible sense of entitlement. It's even worse for Youtube. They're given hours of content absolutely free and have the audacity to complain when said content creators might actually want to support themselves with that career.

That's different in my book, possibly because I don't understand how content creators get paid and partly because, ultimately, a lot of the content creators quite frankly produce things you shouldn't make a living doing (like gimmicky game reviews in the vein of AVGN).

Some deserve money, like ProJared for being both entertaining and professional, but in that event I'd think about supporting them more directly by way of a Patreon or something similar. But acting like not subjecting my eyes to an ad is stealing money from them confuses me. Is YouTube tracking and reporting how many adblock users are visiting their video, prompting them to respond? Do they get paid per view of an ad? You can't skip every ad anymore. Some last 15 seconds and that's what you have to sit through. It feels user-hostile.

So anyone who bitches in my face about lost revenue is likely just going to lose me as a viewer. The most respectable YouTubers are the ones who try to be fresh and engaging while appreciating the viewership they get. I'll support those.

You're going to cancel your Netflix subscription because of AD and FG being removed, but you won't start another subscription service that does have those shows?

I always think it's funny when people talk about eating dog shit. I'm always like, what does that even have to do with this conversation?! People are so weird sometimes

American Dad is a bit sad. Family Guy is no loss at all. Small boon in fact.

I'm mostly overreacting. I probably won't cancel my subscription. Does Hulu have movies? Good ones? Netflix comes through sometimes with movies. Plus they have Stranger Things and OITNB. Im just butt hurt that the show I watch the most (probably everyday) is being taken off.
