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

Seed that bitch so hard you can start a garden.
Seed your ass off.
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!
This makes me feel even better watching the not-so-authorized stream of the season 3 episode premiere last night. FUUUUUUCK you CBS
I already am, but because CBS is thinly veiled right-wing propaganda designed to make right wing talking points palatable to a liberal audience and to also act as controlled opppsition.
Precisely this. Very well said.
This makes me worry about Trek and Avatar...
I'm not sure about recent Trek drama, but a F/F ship was already like pulling the exec's teeth in the later. They couldn't even depict a kiss. Even a show with a woman protagonist was a hard sell.
I spent a whole minute trying to figure out what an F/F Enterprise was supposed to be. I'm an idiot.
F/F Enterprise
Now we're talking.
Devil's advocate says that Colbert got cancelled because late night talk shows aren't profitable anymore. Apparently people don't stay up to watch the show's commercials but catch it on youtube instead the next day.
Not that I would know, we've never had late night talk shows in Denmark, only two day old Letterman shows in the afternoon 20 years ago.
I feel this might be part of it. I love Colbert but I don't like late shows and never watched his except a couple clips online. I know I'm not the only one.
I don't even watch the Daily Show anymore but I always watch Jon Stewart's clips. Again, I can't be the only one.
Found out Colbert gets paid $15 Mil annually rn. Used to watch him. Don't much anymore.
He deserves 20.
Wild take. How much do you make on comparison? Geeze.
Sounds like they’re not doing their fiduciary duty to their shareholders.
I'll still watch Colbert until it's off the air. Other than that, absolutely not.
Is there any way we can convince Trump to cancel the Skydance/Paramount deal? That would do some real damage.
Call it a DEI merger
I’m honesty glad.
Ever since the election Colbert has seemed as if he is stuck between a rock and a hard place.
He couldn’t morally ignore what was happening but he also had to keep things light and establishment approved. This was obvious when Luigi was big news and Colbert took the violence is always wrong stance.
On the other hand, John Stewart made a neutral joke with a hint of support. Seemed obvious that even John Stewart was being restricted but his star power could almost overcome that.
I think this is good for Steven personally, he can stop pretending he supports the establishment (assuming he doesn’t).
The revolution won't be televised
It'll be on all the podcasts though between ads for AG1 and NordVPN
Where's the cries about cancel culture now, when it's right in front of you?
I already don't watch them, but now I won't watch them even harder.
Shouldn't we also be boycotting Skydance then as well? Why does it just single out CBS/Paramount, shouldn't there be pressure on both ends of the deal?
I already was now that it's the B1G on CBS instead of the SEC on CBS like god intended
60 Minutes and Colbert were the only shows on CBS worth watching anyways.
Hide your face, raise your fists, and don't watch TV!
The only media worth a damn is Treasurecolumn on Youtube.
