Not a 3rd party thing. It has been a wiki setting opened up with login for a long time now. Maybe it had some tweaks needed that finally got completed?

True. What we need is a better angle of this photo to become a salute meme:

No, just no. If you want strangers to take what you say seriously then you should show the simplest respect by supporting your claims with the reason(s) you have them. Laziness is flapping your mouth off and expecting to not have to back it up.

The show is just good TV. The acting is good. The music is too. The writing is very good to the point they are confident enough to push limits, get meta, and rebuff the audience’s expectations while still consistently delivering. Even the least of the episodes is well worth the watch even if it is just the once.
- Comment on Reddit seems all doom and gloom on the topic but what about Lemmy? And the future of Star Trek? 1 year ago:
No, Cable is not where I was going with this. Cable is for profit. 1Stream is non-profit. Cable buys rights to display content and charges flat fees/package. 1Stream would be ‘all content media companies want to publish’ with no rights fees etc. You would pay for how much you use the service and media companies would earn based on how much their content gets used. That is not how Cable works at all. Most notably: I’ve said nothing about ads in this mix either although that could be one way for users to pay.
Think YouTube on a grand scheme, but, Steven Spielburg/Paramount Pictures as the CC instead of Pewdiepie

If Paramount collapses it’ll Star Trek will get bought by somebody. At this point that would almost certainly improve anything new produced. That said, I think we are at a turning point in TV type media. With the writers strike showing no signs of let up, and Disney, Paramount, Netflix, and I’m sure more streaming services all showing signs of significant difficulties, something big is going to happen. My hope is that the industry gets together and decides to cut the BS 8 streaming services for random content and change things to be more user friendly. All content on one non-profit service whose income is divided equitably (after running costs deducted) to all content contributing creators based on demand for their supplied material. Something akin to Youtube, but paid with a subscription fee. No selling rights or whatever in that if you want to make money on your show? Publish it to 1stream and get what it earns back at a standard rate / min watched or whatever.
I would probably pay $80/month for 1 service that had everything guaranteed with no problems. Not this subscribe to 1 for 3 months and then anotehr for a month and so on BS.
