tl;dr ST Discovery is doing well in the ratings, despite cancellation being announced already.

Especially considering it's only on Paramount+.

One gets the feeling that Paramount senior management have been paying more attention to review-bombed scores on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb etc. and YouTubers than to actual viewing minutes and audience size.

While Nielsen stats are only for the United States, it’s clear that Paramount has been doing vastly better by Discovery than any of the naysayers have claimed.

Remember when every new episode came out the ragebait youtube channels would proclaim it has already been super secret tripled cancelled? And yet they kept producing more episodes post-cancellation for reasons I never quite could follow?

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's really quite simple. No one was watching it, which is why it was cancelled.

But they had to keep making it because CBS All Access needed those viewers, which I remind you did not exist, to prop up the streaming service.

See? See?

Attracting new subscribers with an expensive unpopular show! Brililant!
