I needed to pare expenses, so I cut some of my entertainment subscriptions. This move has pretty much left me with Paramount+ and nothing else. I was enjoying Yellowstone, but four episodes in, I hit the harsh reality that the others aren't available on there. So what else is binge-worthy on Paramount+?
I wouldn't know not subscribing to any, but with the writers strike and solidarity with the acting profession, hopefully will make the streaming cartel more fair for consumers. Not holding my breath mind you. They'll probably start consolidating to become just a few eventually calling the rate shots.
Oh, you know that's coming! My monies on Netflix combining with Paramount+ and Disney+, eventually. I was shocked to learn how little that creative talent made in residual fees from the streaming networks. It doesn't seem like a fair distribution. However, once they begin paying out more, you know they'll just pass those fees to the consumer.

Yet in our economy they are allowed to fester like that without any REGULATION. The last great reformer in anti trust was a republican. Teddy (rough rider) Roosevelt.
