      The plan is to upload all the seasons on RUclips so they will be openly available in the future.

    The Sarah Silverman part reminds me of how an old woman with dementia in my town had her shoulder broken by police on her walk home from Walmart after she forgot to ring up some items. She left all her items behind, including the ones she did pay for, and was just trying to go home. But the cops decided to throw her on the ground and violently arrest her anyway.
