Some people just really like injecting their own hobbies into a conversation.

“Hey Dave, did you see Black Adam?”

“Yeah I was able to find a 4K torrent and after verifying that the file was secure I downloaded it and played it in my home theater I’ve spent roughy 10 thousand dollars on”

“Oh that’s… fun I guess. ….hey Cindy did you see black Adam?”

Well given how awful streaming has become in general when it comes to even distributing content that’s already been made, it’s nice to know I will always be able to watch all the CNN documentaries for free, instead of either paying anything for Discovery+ or whatever bullshit they’re gonna try and package their CNN content onto, or just not seeing the content at all because Zaslav, Licht, or whichever rich dipshit is in charge for CNN would probably rather want a quick tax write-off by getting rid of the content all together.

It was good that I pirated this stuff before it becomes very hard to find.

that's what I'm getting at, CNN cancelling future programs doesn't stop people sharing the old ones.

That’s fair. I will admit I just don’t trust Zaslav and Licht after the shit that’s already been done by them with gutting content purely for tax write offs. As much as I love the CNN documentaries, they’re also pretty niche, and barely crack any ratings on cable or streaming. There’s definitely a reason why the content hasn’t been reuploaded to HBO Max in well over a year now. I could definitely see them gutting the content all together if the write-off will cost less than putting the content back up.

What's wrong with that? They looked like losers if released anyway.

Maybe if you signed up for CNN+ they wouldn't be cancelling all of these documentaries

I heard/read the content wasn’t even on there even if you did sign up. That’s how big of a failure CNN+ was lol

It included the whole library of documentary shows

I'm sorry but you are singularly responsible for CNN+'s failure
