The shameless promotion of shows featuring recently deceased actors/actresses is a cheap and disgusting way of driving traffic. Submitted by [deleted] t3_zduyjq on December 6, 2022 at 4:15 AM in television [deleted] 7 comments 0

jogoso2014 t1_iz3hvny wrote on December 6, 2022 at 4:37 AM I can see it both ways. When someone dies people actually get nostalgic about their performances and seek them out. When it’s old stuff it’s easier to find when the streamer helps. Of course it’s to the streamer’s benefit, but I’m not disgusted by the practice.
