Streaming services cancel nearly half their originals after just one season. That leaves viewers stuck on cliffhangers after we've already invested our time. Fining them for pulling the plug early would force them to think twice before leaving us hanging.

Over half of all streaming originals never get a second season, which is way worse than old TV ever was. That's a lot of stories dying on a cliffhanger. A fine wouldn't stop creativity, it would just make them respect the audience's time before pulling the plug.

Even if some shows need to end, leaving them on a cliffhanger is just disrespectful to the people who watched. A fine would make streaming services plan out their stories better or at least give us a proper ending. That's not stifling creativity, that's just basic fairness.
