Left Out Subscribers

Have been a subscriber for a loooong time (mainly for this show as it’s my favorite) and it’s not really worth it to pay when they post so infrequently and take such long hiatuses. Will be canceling my subscription as I’m tired of every update from this show being a plug / ad for another show, not a new episode.
