[lone_concertina]

Not just air but apparently they upload full ad-free episodes of his show to youtube?? When did that start and why am I just finding out?

[benihime99]

Pretty sure it's the first time

[recognitions]

There's other episodes on there

[benihime99]

I'd rather you never address me, like ever

[recognitions]

Normal response. Who are you again?

The usually do have the "main story" up for free on YT though. They don't gatekeep on LWT.

[benihime99]

They have the main act but usually not the whole show (which they did for this piece)
A lot of users are requesting they do the same for the following episodes (especially viewers in the EU)

They've been doing that a whilr.

[peddlestools]

they've uploaded the main segment of every episode for years (as long as i've been watching). you don't get the opening bits, but you get the majority of the episode.

My friend canceled her HBO account and I've been missing out for no reason! Now I just need a source for The Knick and I'll be set lol

They upload the whole episode in very special cases. I can't remember the topic-(s), but it's happened before.
