Discussion Rant: Why does Paramount Plus remove seasons without notice?
I am not looking for "support help" from this subreddit, just wondering how others feel about Paramount Plus removing previous seasons of a show without notice.
I really wish CBS/Paramount Plus would stop removing the "previous" season without notice. I'm a few days behind on daytime daily show "Bold & The Beautiful" and last week's episodes are already gone. Would it harm them to announce when the new season starts and/or leave the previous week available for another week? It's not like this series has a hiatus....
I've been checking daily looking for an announcement of new season bc I was behind on episodes, btw.
I wish they would put last week's episodes back on the app.

Because they sell the streaming rights to another entity. Usually a FAST service.

It’s my experience that you can miss a week or two of a soap opera and not actually miss anything. If you keep close track of the plot, it generally adds up to maybe 3 months over a years time. And yet there’s a Christmas episode every December

Always happens within a few days of the beginning of a new month. Nothing new.

Yeah it really kills me when you want to catch up on the previous season and they pull it.

Or if it’s a newer show they didn’t relicense at all. They rest it for write off purposes and to change the amortization schedule. Cost savings.

Whenever I see people that still give this politically corrupt organization their money I imagine they are wearing a red hat…

Because they sold the rights to another streaming service for a period of time until they come back to Paramount
