          All the big companies who owned a majority of cable television channels have all essentially created their own streaming service

          Paramount/CBS: Paramount+

          Disney/ABC: Disney+

          NBC/Comcast: Peacock

          Fox: not aware if they have a major one

          CW/WB/Discover: HBO Max

          Then of course the conpanies that spawned from streaming services.

            Before that, we had all their content together available on Netflix. Like it should be.

            Imagine if each record label would do their own streaming service and pull their content from Spotify, YouTube music and Apple music.

            Would all 3 take the Netflix way and start producing their own bands?

            Music is still not being pirated as much as before Spotify & co existed. The streaming model still works.

            I have a feeling that now, that the streaming model for movies & series got more confusing and more expensive than before, the seas will be full of pirates again.

            I loved having all of Star Trek together on Netflix, together with everything else. Just like it is with music, it was somehow very comforting having such a good service for the money paid.

              Is trek not available on Netflix in other countries? I’m in Canada and we have TNG, Voyager, TOS, and DS9 on Netflix.

                Actually we have all those still in Germany - also TAS. I should have phrased it better - i meant new Star Trek, like lower decks, SNW, Picard, Discovery & Prodigy

            If only the streaming services could federate and make it all very easy.

            They have to be easier then piracy. Not cheaper, just easier. And right now… They are missing that mark

        I watched the few first episodes and didn’t hate it but wasn’t really interested where it was going. Is it worth watching the rest?
