Users who bought any of the hundreds of listed programs will no longer be able to access the content as of December 31, according to a legal notice posted by the company.

The rise of online streaming throughout the past decade created an entertainment revolution that gave consumers massive content libraries available with just a few clicks, all for a small monthly fee.

However, increasing competition among streaming services for licensed content has left many of the platforms looking like endless scrolls of reality television.

Additionally, some users have found themselves burned, as their content providers are starting to lose the rights to items that they purchased on their servers.

On Friday, one Reddit user asked if there was any way they could save their purchased content from Discovery, including several seasons of the reality show “Dual Survival.”

A legal notice posted by the company at the time indicated that those titles were also removed due to licensing issues, according to The Verge.
