    My experience is the opposite. It can be harder to find unpopular things, but there are very few things that aren't out there at all. More often (as is the case with Disney) piriacy can be your only option. I do like having high quality physical media I can rip copies of myself when something is available but Disney doesn't like to give people that option no matter how recent/popular the show is. We don't really have many official options for compensating creators either. It doesn't matter how much you watch The Owl House on disney+ it's not the same as writing Dana Terrace a check. Thankfully she was already compensated by Disney. Support for creators and their shows can be given in a lot of ways. You can always try to support a show you download by word of mouth promotion, seeding torrents, social media engagement, and buying merch.
