Reply to comment by Skavau in Why are people so deathly afraid of cancellation these days? by SuspendedInKarmaMama

>I mean I don't know if there's ever been data on this historically. But also in the 90s and 00s you kinda had to watch the show when it aired, or wait for reruns or eventually buy it.

You didn't have to do that once piracy became widespread tho. And if you don't want to watch a show because you fear it'd be cancelled, that doesn't really matter.

Well yes, but not everyone did pirate in the 00s (either for ethical reasons or inability to do so) - and internet was slower, quality was worse, and HD space was less

Not everyone pirates now and honestly quality never stopped people from pirating.
