minus-squaretriktrek@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up29·2 years agoOuch, that must hurt for Kate Mulgrew and the team. Why would Paramount remove the existing episodes from streaming service though? They have everything else Trek.
minus-squareISometimesAdmin@the.coolest.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down1·2 years ago@triktrek Same reason HBO removed Westworld… Saving on residuals. All about that bottom line, amirite? 🙄
minus-squareinterolivary@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up13·2 years agoAh so it is just about residuals, I was just speculating on another comment that that might be the reason.

minus-squaredan@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·2 years agoIf there’s really low viewership, it can cost more to keep it on the platform, as they still have to pay some royalties and stuff for it being there. Same reason that Disney is pulling lots of shows from Disney+ and Hulu right now. It sucks a lot for those of us who really like it.
