Warner Bros Discovery is Sabotaging Last Week Tonight With John Oliver

[shangri__la]

Does anyone know why the first NINE SEASONS of @LastWeekTonight have vanished from @StreamOnMax?

Only two seasons are now on Max. The first eight can be purchased for extra $$ on @PrimeVideo.

Season Ten is on Apple+. Nine is NOWHERE.

Temporary? Or just Warner Bros being crap? pic.twitter.com/6au3VRguzT

You know it's WB-D fucking around on purpose because John Oliver has called them out for being terrible. And that's despite how many awards the show has won and how many people watch his show - even people who subscribe just for him. They're just as bad as Netflix in fucking over creators.

okay my comment posted twice because livejournal has been weird lately and not automatically forwarding to the comments section after hitting post???? like, did my comment go through or not

is frank chewing on the wires again?

I keep having issues with editing comments. It just doesn't reload the page and sometimes it works if I click out and sometimes it doesn't.

[peddlestools]

yes, that's the exact problem i have too, but it now appears to happen with new comments as well, not just edited ones.

[xdecadentx]

Welp, it's getting worse instead of better.

These companies...I saw something that said business owners are afraid to speak out against trump in case he wins again an essentially puts a hit out on CEOs who allow it.

Howwwwww the fuck did this one absolute moron garner such massive power and fear? It’s both baffling and terrifying.

[irajaxon]

i resent so very fucking much that everyone and everything is at the whims of this malevolent dimwit

[shoopbabee]

my other thought is that someone in WB decision making is part of this project 2025 BS

Streaming services are hitting the saturation point with potential subscribers so now they’re trying to finally get profitable by shrinking their catalogs as much as they can without losing too many subscribers but I doubt it’s going to work.

Pretty soon Max will just be Magnolia shit - Chip and Joanna 24/7/365 nothing else.

they also are conveniently forgetting that taxpayers actually bankroll a lot of their production costs too through "tax credits/rebates" on productions that don't pay taxes, which usually go to pay the primary actor's fees (so that they get paid on a somewhat equivalent basis to a box office film lol)

they're literally getting a large check from state governments to film their projects in that state for temporarily creating jobs with no longevity. there are specific rules affecting the contracts and pay of the crew/production staff who are union members for the los angeles studio zone and secondary studio zone and anything outside of that, but hiring a local crew and production staff who are non-union can significantly reduce those costs
