    Seeing Warner Bros. reduced to what it is now after the Discovery merger hurts my soul

    Why? Why do you care? It’s a company, not a person.

      I grew up watching re-runs of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies, The Animaniacs, and Batman: The Animated Series.

      The answer is right there, from the same paragraph. Call it nostalgia, if it helps clarify - but there is a sentimental feeling to shows that helped shape my sense of humour while growing up.

      I care about WB the company only in-so-far as they are the rights holders to that media, and therefore their ownership will determine whether/how I will be able to continue to enjoy them, new entries (such as Coyote vs. ACME), and introduce them to to my children.

        You can download videos. I can teach you what torrenting is.

        None of this explains the corporate anthropomorphism.
