    It also makes it impossible for a show to get later word of mouth bumps. Nobody sees it, new users don’t even know it exists, and so it has no metrics and no future whatsoever.

      That’s how Star Trek succeeded after The Original Series, but now there is no physical media comparable to streaming.

      You would think that the content would still be licensed by another streamer like Tubi etc, but then they have to factor their property only being available on a competitor.

      It’s never been a better time to selfhost.
