These were cynical removals. If they'd been customer focused they would have given subscribers sufficient notice that they were leaving the platform. And Paramount + encouraged subscribers to pay annually with a generous discount if they did - so it's not as if all discontented subscribers can just cancel their monthly direct debits.

I've no issues with companies balancing the books as they won't be around if they don't. But Paramount's approach verges on the unethical and tarnishes the reputation of the streaming sector.
