#and as a consumer your only valid response is to say “well i wont buy your product if you do X”

No offence but this is a really dumb take when the whole "why get invested if its going to be cancelled" thing is in response to companies like netflix purposely cancelling shows after 1-2 seasons to maximise profits and avoid paying full salaries and residuals to cast/crew.

It's not saying "why enjoy a sandwich if its going to be gone in 15 minutes" its saying "why buy a sandwich if the cafe you bought it from is going to knock it out of your hands before you're half finished"

"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."
