Today several users reported that a handful of significant Cartoon Network shows—including Ben 10, Steven Universe, Regular Show, the 2016 Powerpuff Girls revival, Amazing World of Gumball, We Bare Bears, and Chowder—were suddenly no longer streaming on Max with the turn of the month, with no prior announcement of their impending removal.

Just removing Steven Universe alone seems insane to me. I'm not into it, but it has a massive fan base.

Just recently I finally convinced my wife to watch Venture Bros. I watched it on Max a couple years ago and enjoyed it, but I hadn't gotten the chance to watch the movie. So I was hoping we could watch the series together and finish off with the movie.

The movie is on Max, but the show is not anymore. The first 3 seasons are on Netflix. Seasons 4-7... They don't seem to be available anywhere. Well, I think Adult Swim's website might have it but their website sucks for binging shows even on a desktop, and either worse or literally not possible to use on other devices. I could "buy" them digitally on Amazon. Instead I just bought the DVD collection and added it to my Jellyfin server.

It used to be that a show had to be really special for me to shell out money and dedicate digital and physical storage space for me to buy a physical copy. But more and more I find myself buying the DVD's and Blu-Rays even for shows like Venture Bros that I like, but may not love. Streaming just keeps getting worse.

It does. Ownership really does beat everything, just like cash will always be king

That show is fantastic! I wish they fleshed out the ending a bit more instead of a movie. If they had one more season to give it a proper ending would be chef's kiss. Still one of the best Western animations ever made.
