They also have a tendency to abandon their popular shows after 3 seasons or less.

Paramount learned they need to always have a Star Trek running or people would just binge watch once a month every year.

Yeah, I used to sign up to Now TV here just to watch Game of Thrones and then cancel when it finished.

Shit I didn't think about that. We just sign up for the stuff we want, and cancel the accounts after except for the free ones . Paramount+ is going to need a lot of new Trek to keep people there.

We turn streaming services on and off all the time. Why pay every month when you can binge watch for a month and move on to another service. Rinse and repeat. It's like running through all the new freshman girls every fall semester.
