www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/comedy-central-website-daily-show-clips-wiped-out-1235933345/It looks like Paramount is shutting down all of its subsidiary websites. It would make sense to move them all to P+ but they are only moving a tiny percentage of it to there. This really makes them look desperate. You want a successful streaming service but you just delete thousands of hours of content you already owned to save a few pennies. I hope when they shut down P+ because it only make them $100 million when they expected $10 billion, Star Trek can find a new home with someone who actually cares about it.

I don't want to say I TOLD YOU SO (to no one in particular) re: Paramount+ falling apart at some point, but... I TOLD YOU SO.
The basic laws of business/economy and offer/demand don't change just because some people at Paramount (and other companies who launched their own streaming services despite there being more than enough evidence that people will NOT subscribe to a zillion tiny streaming services and will focus on the major ones instead) think they can do so.

Frankly, I was kinda suprised Mtv was still around.

I think some form of MTV is still running, I don't really know, MTV died for me after they made the Reality TV turn. But what is gone is the archive, what they wiped out was the digital record that stored all the interviews and content. That's the crime.

It's so sad that "do you remember when MTV actually played music" is a thing we say these days. My 80s/90s self would be horrified. (Although we had our own music channel here when I was a teenager. Ironically, it went downhill the same way MTV did.)
