They probably licensed them to another company. Paramount has been mind-numbingly stupid in that regard, getting or producing exclusive content then sending it off to somewhere else. See if Doug shows up on another streaming service in a couple weeks.
I wonder when this BS will hit Pluto TV, hopefully not soon... In the meantime I hoard my beloved childhood classics and create my own channels with DizqueTV lol.
“How dare they get rid of unprofitable garbage?! I loved that stuff from the 80s and 90s! Clearly Paramount should go bankrupt just for the sake of my nostalgia!”
What you loved is garbage, and especially profitable. If you thought it was gonna last forever, despite it’s un profitability, your brain is broken.
The thing that surprises me is I can't imagine it costs a ton to host the materials. The contents already made you just need to distribute it on your already existing streaming platform.
So if its cheap to host and this many people care, why aren't they making money on it?
