    Competition is good, but Paramount doesn’t have enough content to actually compete. I’m honestly shocked that they’ve kept their service running this long. I’m not going to subscribe to a dozen different platforms, and Paramount is never going to make the cut.

      I use a family log-in for paramount w/ Showtime.

      I use it almost entirely for showtime. There’s definitely some decent things on paramount. But once you’ve seen them that’s it. They don’t really have a lot of new content.

      And it seems to be an almost genre specific streaming service.

      If I’m in the mood for a comedy or something light I don’t even bother looking through paramount.

        In Australia Paramount+ has the A-League broadcast rights, so I subscribe purely for that. It is very cheap by streaming standards here ($7 for the base tier with ads) and has a pretty good collection of films too. TV series are really where it struggles.

      Yeah, but Star Trek, though. That’s a “killer feature” for a lot of people.

      Paramount+ doesn’t work for shit, though. They keep inventing new and different ways to break. Even if you’re really into the content they provide, they’re so hard to work with and keep working consistently. Not like Netflix or Prime Video or Disney+ or whatever. (Hulu is… pretty janky as well. But anyway.)
