Exactly. There were a ton of casualties like this during the last strike.
There will be more on the chopping block, all because the platforms don't want to share the profits with the writers from the golden goose they found with the new streaming era.

One of the nails in the coffin for Digg was that users increasingly felt they didn't have a voice on the site anymore because a few power users had games the system and taken control. The same thing has happened to Reddit, except now those users are able to hide behind bots and AI.
I didn't realize how bad it had become until I came to the Fediverse and saw more fresh content than I had seen on Reddit in years. No more timed reposts of the same memes or top posts, more organic conversations in the comments, meme formats I hadn't seen in years.

Timesuck. The long form, research based style is a refreshing departure from a lot of the content I consume most days. Plus, each week is a different topic, so you get a good mix of history, cults, serial killers, and a little bit of everything in between.
I hope they continue the movies with Children and God Emperor. Beyond that may be too much for regular audiences, but I really really want to see an on screen adaptation of Leto II
Holy shit, you want me to pick just one line from the best parody movie of all time?!
I guess if I were forced to pick, it would be:
"I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate."
"So what does that make us?"
"Absolutely nothing."
Or amazing and cancelled after 1 season (rip Peripheral)
