Twot was trying to be prestige and ended up a complete disaster, while starving other good shows of that cash.
The boys is also fairly cheap in comparison (getting more expensive obviously as time goes on, but nowhere near twot/trop).
Tech companies had so much money they started throwing money at shit, that was the problem.
