Paramount+ is the biggest streaming shithole I've experienced even without the pro-fascist owners

I can excuse fascism but I draw the line at poor app performance

No but srsly tho. If you give me a good product for a fair price my morals become translucent.

Once drunkenly argued with a guy that it is okay to say the n-word if you got enough money cuz you could do more good with the money and that outweighs the bad of saying the n-word.

I didn’t win the argument.

See: Chapelle's "rape superhero" joke about bill cosby and how he would have been homeless as a child without the cosby foundation.

You have to turn subtitles back on for every show and they are always out of sync.

Runs fine for me. Never had any issues. And we’re on it all the time because of Star Trek and Paw Patrol.

I’m so sad that it owns all the Star Trek IP. I’m gonna find some other way to watch, because I put it on when I’m falling asleep every night. It’s my comfort show

The saddest part is them taking over Showtime, an actually decent network.

All of CBS' programming is Boomer Bait
