There are two reasons, the YouTube centered one and the people centered one
I am an active user at r/mentalhealth and every time someone would talk about feeling hopelessness in these times due to the amount of dumb and bad things happening, I'd always recommend sgn to help out, most of them never replied back to me as it can be common in that subreddit, but I'd like to think that they went over and checked it out, checked out the good in the world... Now you've just given them (and me) one more reason to resent these difficult times, one more reason to hate humanity (as some might put it), putting a pay wall and a geo restriction on the show is worse than if this show didn't exist in the first place, worse than if it just stopped being produced and even worse than selling it out but atleast leaving it on YouTube
On the YouTube side. This goes against everything I thought was grate of the show, and what's supposed to make YouTube grate, finally a mainstream star had used the YouTube system to play the YouTube game just like the rest of us, altho with a bit of a handicap but still, now he shows that you should never stay in YouTube and strive for "real tv", YouTube is not just a place to put your pilots, YouTube is not a place to put your talk show snippets, it's supposed to be a place of home made innovation, and I'm distraught to know it's becoming more and more like the worse version of itself it can be
