minus-squaretriktrek@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkarrow-up28·1 year 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-squareinterolivary@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 year 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-down1·1 year 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.
