They already have product placement in TV and Movies. They are getting eyeballs on those even when pirated. They need to realize the ad/commercial way to make money is the line in the sand with pirates that they won’t cross but we happily ignore product placement.

It started to get super political and they didn’t want to deal with that or have to take a ton of time cleaning up the comment section. I get it. I, too, miss the discussions on there but wow, about 6months before they killed them off it was a disaster.
