I'm from the region and every regular person pays for streaming these days, especially youngsters.
I've searched for content on danish trackers once, for content that wasn't on any services, and i think a few people use it for that, ie. fans or film buffs.
Often whole seasons are removed, content jumps around, or stuff just disappears forever even if you've paid for it.
So this operation seems very excessive.
Maybe there's an active strategy to remove old stuff to keep people interested in the newer?
Either way this weird cultural goldfish-memory is tragic. There's so much out there not on streaming these days.

See https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-63242200 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-63242200 and https://factmyth.com/factoids/goldfish-have-a-three-second-memory/ https://factmyth.com/factoids/goldfish-have-a-three-second-m...

- ptek 3y agoI can understand people wanting to share rare local stuff which would be otherwise harder to find. In New Zealand even though tvnz has streaming, all the older material still hasn't been digitised.

- klodolph 3y agoI think you would be hard-pressed to find someone who always uses the word “every person” to mean “each and every person, without exception”. It is, unfortunately, not mathematical.
- akikoo 3y agoThe thing is, for example myself, I don't pay for any streaming services.
- ignoramceisblis 3y agoYou were right to point out the poster's falsehood.
- MyFirstSass 3y agoYou're probably not a "regular person". Most here on HN would fall in one of these categories; Nerd, Film Buff, Niche Fan, Cheapskate + hyper tech savvy, Collector etc. categories. We aren't regular people ;)
- jowea 3y agoI think there's an implied "every person [that I know whether this is true or not of them]" in normal speech.
