Max's decision to remove the cult classic series Over the Garden Wall from its platform just before Halloween feels like a personal attack on fans who consider it a Halloween tradition, but it is actually an indication of a larger overall problem with streamers.
Streaming platforms like Max struggle to handle cult shows and movies, often removing them due to low viewership, jeopardizing the preservation and accessibility of beloved media.
To solve this problem, streaming platforms should allow for curation and consider limited-time availability of cult classics, as well as prioritize physical media releases to ensure long-term access for fans.
