I was discussing this issue with friends. It's frustrating when I'll hear some people get mad that their shows get cancelled yet they were watching or downloading it illegally and those views and downloads, now in the MILLIONS these days, don’t count for a show’s ratings at all!

If your favorite shows get cancelled, downloading them for free doesn’t help. You must buy the seasons, DVDs, and other official merch to show support. Anyways, if you wanna add to my preachy rant feel free haha!
