That is interesting, as I heard that this was the reason Heartstopper was made exclusive for Netflix. There were rumours that Channel 4 would make it, as it is well known as being a channel with strong pro LGBTQ+ which I really love, but the creator and writer of Heartstopper Alice Oseman wanted full control over what was seen on screen, so maybe Channel 4 wasn't going to give her that freedom in the same way.
