I burst into tears seeing this. Sesame Street is locked behind a paywall with HBO and Fred Rogers Productions went "NOPE" and made sure that the magic and compassion that Mr. Rogers taught is available to everyone, no matter your financial status. They're making sure underserved kids have access to education, and VERY important emotional education at that. (Also, "They release sesame street a week later" that is STILL treating kids of poorer economic groups as a separate and lesser class, think for 5 seconds, ffs)
Also, please remember that Mr. Rogers started saying he was feeding the fish because a little girl who was blind was worried he was forgetting. He made his show accessible before that was even an inkling of a thought in so many entertainers' heads.
