Wait isn’t Larry Ellison the guy from Oracle? Does he own paramount?
Is this a hobby now among billionaires to have overlapping hobbies by having companies in media and rocketry?

Fuck Larry Ellison and by extension now Paramount.
Sad I won’t be watching this.

His son now owns Paramount now, but Larry can actually control every aspect
no single shareholder can outvote David, but it also means that he needs his father to approve everything from budgets to key investments

Oh one of those cases that someone rich gives a “gift” to their family.

Yes, I totally won’t be watching it either, because Paramount+ is definitely the only possible place to find it.

I haven’t hoisted any sails yet, as I’m actually kind of enjoying reduced content consumption subs I cut my streaming services this spring.
The current media landscape is too concentrated and somehow too fragmented behind disparate services. They’ve taken a problem that was briefly solved by Netflix and made it more confusing than cable while also trying to jam more ads in and jacking prices. It’s disgusting.
I wish we were getting more independent publishers as the costs have never been lower, the infrastructure is all commoditized, and consumer grade cameras are fantastic for 4K raw video. There’s also tons of artists around the country/world that want to make content, they just don’t have the capital and distribution options available to make it a full time job.
Frustrating.
