MODERATORS
Not sure what the angle of the article is (commenting before reading), but before we even get to the cost of individual services, I became disillusioned with streaming after Final Space was obliterated from existence for a tax write-off, and then hearing about what Disney pulled with Willow, and most recently the un-ordering of a whole second season of Star Trek Prodigy.
What happened with Willow?
Cancelled the series after one season. Damn shame because it showed promise and it was fun to return to the world of Willow.
It probably didn't have the huge ratings investors were hoping for, so it got the axe before it even had a chance.
