Maybe if their app wasn't complete garbage they'd have more subscribers.
People are going to think you’re just salty about the general state of TV software but I’ll back you up that Paramount’s software is uniquely bad - the worst of any of the major streaming services.

1. Open the app 2. Go to a show 3. Wait for the little preview of the show to start playing 4. Click the "Watch Now" button 5. Enjoy hearing both the audio of the little preview and the audio of the actual show playing on top of each other until you force quit the app.

They offer their service for free on Delta flights, but when I tried it on a US-domestic flight I had to restart a single episode of Star Trek about 5 times because it would cut out with an error saying I was in Canada and couldn't watch the show there.
