When I discovered South Park studios, I legit stopped pirating south park. It was great. Good (enough) quality, access to every episode afaik, and easy to use. Then they switched to Hulu for sps and it went to shit: ads, videos failing to load, ads failing to load in the middle of the video causing it to reset from the beginning, only a few seasons available at any particular time, etc.
It’s especially funny given what Trey Parker and Matt Stone said when they started the South Park Studios site in 2008. From the press release announcing the launch:
When asked about the launch of the new site, Stone and Parker said, “We got really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time so we gave ourselves a legal alternative.”
I remember that. Deleted all the seasons I had to free up hard drive space, since their website was so good. Ended up being another valuable lesson on why I need to self host my own stuff even if convenient alternatives are available.
Nowadays I never trust a company not to pull the rug out from under me.

Fuck all that shit.
