You say enormous, but the stuff I want to watch is always on a different subscription.
- nickthegreek 3y agoIf you spend upward of $100/mo on content as OP suggested, the library is enormous and you shouldn’t really have that problem.
- defrost 3y agoBut you are left with the issue of "curated" incomplete and edited versions. In June 2020, when the initial run of The Boondocks was uploaded to HBO Max, the Season 3 episode "The Story of Jimmy Rebel" was intentionally excluded due to perceived racial insensitivities over the episode's portrayal of a racist country singer named Jimmy Rebel (a parody of real-life white supremacist country singer Johnny Rebel). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boondocks_(2005_TV_series) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boondocks_(2005_TV_series) Sure, the episode had some seriously racist historic material reanimated in a black american cartoon series by black creators for primarily black audiences .. and committed the sin of portraying southern white supremacists exactly as they recorded themselves on film and in the studio. I'm not a culture warrior, I'm not even from the US - I do however spend a few hours every week curating meta data and subtitles - and a great many episodes of things yo may other wise not expect have been altered between original aired versions and versions later streamed. There's a slew of edits between Community episodes and one of the pirate packs from a major streamer and I've yet to fathom why so much material was cut for streaming, it's not like they have time constraints.
