Warning: that "streaming rights" chart from 2019 is badly outdated now

I was rewatching some old podcast clips about anime licensing and one guy kept referencing a chart showing which platforms had what. Turns out that chart was from before the Crunchyroll and Funimation merge. So many shows moved or got delisted. I checked like 5 different series from that list and 3 of them switched platforms without me knowing. Anyone else get blindsided by old licensing info when trying to recommend shows to friends?

Last month I tried to get my nephew into an older show I loved, only to find out it vanished from Hulu and now lives on some service Ive never even heard of. That same 2019 chart is exactly what I was using to remember where things were, and it made me look totally out of touch. Its wild how quickly these deals change, and Im starting to think I should double check every title before I open my mouth.
