Spending time with your kid is also a once in a lifetime opportunity (for the kid). Think about your family reading this in 30 years and I think the answer is clear.
Wow, that's a great way to look at the issue. Thanks for the perspective.

I don’t have a specific answer other than to not pause production but I feel like this is a symptom of the season based production cycle. A series captures the imagination, then it disappears for an entire year (or two or three), only to start again hoping everyone hasn’t moved on in life. Of course they lose momentum with fans.
A better model to my mind is decide to make a 20 episode series, then produce and release episodes as they are finished and don’t stop until the series is over. If the series is capable of continuing, make that decision long before the 20th episode, but be sure to be ready to end by 20 otherwise.
I generally agree with the sentiment though. In a series that has a story and an arc, ending is before an end is possible is just mean. You could at least give a few episodes grace to let the writers wrap it up. Just ending a story midway through is the height of disrespect to both the artists creating it, but most importantly, your customers who have given their life and interest to the story.
This is pretty similar to how korean dramas work with ten-twenty hour long episodes per show. The majority of shows wrap up in one season.
How are messaging apps still getting these valuations when Telegram, signal, Whatsapp and lime chat exist?

My point is that they intentionally obtained an effective monopoly on content, so it's weird of them to complain about too many people wanting to watch content there.
How exactly did they obtain a monopoly on content? They don't name most content creators sign exclusivity agreements.

It's wild.
The mountains have literally 8+ feet of snow everywhere. I went snowshoeing last weekend....the trails look kinda different ten feet off the ground.....
Where do you usually go? I have done a lot of snowshoeing in the Midwest but a bit scared of going alone into the mountains now that I'm here in Utah.
