No. But to follow the metaphor and the article's suggestion, if HBO was already doing a lazy Game of Thrones web series, focused around occasional guest stars on the show but ultimately offering nothing cool or fun for fans, you'd bet people online would immediately ask why they couldn't just shell out for Cersei or…

That fan entitlement article is explicitly about the idea of changing the content of a piece of art or entertainment, or at least altering its future installments, based on specific demands of a fanbase who get angry if their preferences are not met.
