This is why you need to have this shit uploading to a remote server automatically in the background each time one is taken. Livestreams need to be happening as well.
Other than the Daily Show they're the only reason that Comedy Central is even still a TV network. They seriously don't have any pull in these deals? I call bullshit especially since Matt Stone hardly contributes to writing and mostly is the business-side guy.
South Park creators, Parker and Stone, extended their contract with Comedy Central to allow for three more seasons, with episodes through 2011. Part of the agreement states that Comedy Central will financially back the official South Park site, SouthParkStudios.com. Along with the agreement, Parker and Stone joined an agreement that gives them equal partnership in their new digital venture.
In 2008 they were able to leverage their deal with Comedy Central to get CC to fund southparkstudios.com to allow them to post them all online. You think they somehow lost that leverage? They still signed their names to these deals and you're saying they had no choice?
They went out of their way in the late 2000's to put the entire catalog on their own website so anyone on any device could watch any episode they wanted any time.
They're villains because they chose to make deals and provide an inferior experience to their fans by removing the ability to watch them all on southpark.com and instead force them behind paywalled systems like Hulu, HBO Max, and Paramount+. They had a good thing, and they threw it in the trash for a deal that now means hardly anyone who is paying money can actually watch them.
I even remember their reasoning back then was because they were tired of pirating their own show to see copies of it digitally. They also saw it as a way to fight piracy by giving an easy, legal pathway to watching. They stopped giving a damn about all that.
Seems like a lot of interviews during this period are lost or memory-holed. This is the closest I can find to what I am talking about:

Thank you Ted, that's the joke.
Insert Kyle Broflovski preachy centrist speech here
I remember when they had all the episodes for free on southpark.com.
Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Honestly they did this to themselves because they got greedy. Made a bunch of deals back in 2018-2019 that led to today's shitshow. Sorry guys, you lived long enough to become the villain instead of dying the hero.
systemdeez nuts!
Well now there's a dark mode and a light mode version so everyone can choose what works best for them. I'd say that's a win.
Some of the funniest people have had severe struggles with depression and other mental health issues.
I'll do you one better than an edit, I'll give you a brand new screenshot at higher quality with bonus dark mode:
I mean, how can you not make the same joke? It's literally the thing. It was the first thing that popped into my head, too.
That's incredibly tragic. I might still be single, and I've dated some beautiful women, but none of them wanted to hurt me.
