So, like, Prodigy? No? Then fail. If I’m gonna pay for a streaming service, just for Star Trek, which I am entirely willing to do, but it darn well better have all of it. Take my money, but earn it!
This is a hot load of shit.
My household purchased a yearly subscription to Crave as it contained all the Star Trek content and a bunch of HBO shows that my wife likes.
Removing this content will just mean my Plex server will go brrr a little more. I’m slightly inconvenienced, and Paramount+ and Crave just lost another subscriber. Big brain move by these services.
How did Paramount+ lose a subscriber in this scenario?
They lose a potential subscriber in us, and Crave loses a return subscriber
If Paramount+ acquiring the rights to shows that you like ensures that you’ll never be a subscriber, I suspect that potential was never really there…
Option A had everything in one place (they weren’t just after Trek) for a single cost. Splitting platforms and increasing user costs while decreasing user convenience has now cost them income.
