What is Going on with TYPEKIT?!

I recently used TitlingGothicFB family. It's been deactivated and is no longer available on TypeKit, even though my sync says it's available. A manual search turns up nothing. 

 

What is going on? I really hate this automatic deactivation of fonts. I work on projects for months at a time and I am not OK with fonts "disappearing."

 

Looking for any input at all. If I'm an idiot, that's fine, just point me in the right direction!

Two font foundries recently pulled out of Adobe Fonts. This was not Adobe's decision. Its kind of like Netflix having a movie and then the next week its gone from the service.

You'll have to find a suitable substitute or buy the font directly from that foundry.

C'mon, removing font from collection is not like "removing movie from Netflix". Nothing will happen, when you miss a movie. I can imagine frustration, when you open a 250 pages catalogue design, with a missing font, and find that someone "removed movie from Netflix"
