Which is giving subscribers the idea to cut their streaming apps down or out, since they are cancelling so many shows. You can't cut your way to being in the black and you can't charge more than the market can bear. I see this a continued issue till they decide what they are doing isn't working.

Not cancelling that much, just the stuff not that many were watching, Paramount still has tons of content, Disney will always have Star Wars/Marvel ( next years shows are already done), Netflix has premiered about 10 things in the last month I want to watch, cannot say the same for Broadcast/Cable Channels right now.
If you look back on history, what they ( streaming) are doing is working, compared to what has happened before.
For example, it took DirecTV 6 years to become profitable, Dish Network 9 years, both Paramount and Disney+ are expecting to go profitable in 2024, which fits the same time range as the Satellite Companies.
And remember, Netflix, Hulu, MA
HBO) and now YouTubeTV ( with the recent price increase)are already profitable .But that does not mean all streaming will make it, AMC is done for and Peacock is a money pit, but Cable Channels are failing also, the RSNs are the biggest example.

It was cancelled for tax purposes, Warner started this wave of cancellations with the Batgirl Movie, it cost $100 million to make, Warner claimed it lost $200 million for loss of revenue by never releasing it on HBOMAX, if I remember correctly, IRS ended up giving Warner $150 Million in tax credits for it.
Same for Prodigy, ( numbers are just an example), say it costs $3 Million an episode to make, claim it lost $6 Million an episode by never airing.
Then if they sold it to Netflix for $3 Million, they still get $3 Million tax credit.
Also depends on what type of credit they are applying for, the Batgirl movie can never be released or Warner would then have to pay the IRS that $150 Million.
Actually it is more simple than that. You don't pay taxes unless you make a profit, and Paramount Plus never has. And never will.
Pop goes the bubble.
Market analysts have been telling Paramount to do this for over two years. As it becomes clear that it will never make any money at streaming, it needs to do a 180 and sell its valuable legacy series to others.
This is a significant day in sad history of the streaming bubble.

Are you following me around the forum.
The questions was about ST: Prodigy and why it will be on Netflix, not about your rants against streaming, there is a forum already set up for that.

Huh. The whole 2nd season dropped on the 1st and nobody watched it yet? I was dealing with a flooded basement. So what's your excuse?

I just purchased a new TV that was delivered today, working on hooking up all the components now, need my surround sound, then I will give it a watch.
Oh, been there, done that. Water Heaters, mostly, but a water softener once.
I binged the show as my Netflix is expiring Monday. I thought it was worthy of the Star Trek name, even given the young teen target audience. Lots of Easter eggs (Gary 7 call back, as well as “Lower Decks”) and the solution should make everyone happy, for the most part.
The character animation of the Voyager Crew seemed age-appropriate, but the EMH should have looked younger (like the Janeway Hologram) unless “he” chose to look older as part of his desire to fit in with the crew.
In all, I liked it. I’m glad I timed my Netflix gift card to be able to see this before it expired. I still think it sucks that it isn’t part of Paramount+…
But why did the solution have to involve Wesley Crusher, Wonderkind? I was annoyed with him because of ST: TNG and one reason I found it difficult to watch any of the ST podcasts he did. And Wesley with a beard seems even more wrong.
Yeah, Foxbat, I agree about Wesley. There is just too much Wesley. I liked him early on in TNG until the writers decided to make him such a major character that he created life and then could self-teleport across time and space using his imagination. Gaak. The TNG episode I like best is "Remember Me", which involved the Traveller. But making Wesley one of these? That is a bridge too far for me.
I did like the many Easter eggs.
