Does this mean I shouldn't be torrenting Strange New Worlds, or I should be torrenting it harder?

Financially, probably torrenting it harder.

Socially, the problem with media is that even talking about the show makes people want to see it, which would increase their viewership.

For me, a media boycott would be to not watching it or talk about it. Keep the pressure on CBS and Paramount for caving to fascism.

right. seeding is a form of advertising.

It derives Viacom of revenue, but the popularity boost encourages Viacom to prioritize Star Trek.

Seed!
