You mean no more Turner Classic Movies? Some of us still need our TCM fix once in a while.
I was convinced various television assets besides HBO were spun off (including TCM) amidst this. (Probably just the Mandela effect given Fox/20th Century and NBC/Universal)

Just as Warner Archives increases its output & finally starts releasing the titles people have been begging for.

Paramount's poor quality makes them a bit easier to boycott.

I wouldn't presume to tell people what they should do but subscription cancellations is the only language the Ellisons will understand. Screaming at the people who voted for Trump or stayed home in 2024 doesn't fix this.

Hopefully Imprint releases the complete Alfred Hitchcock Presents + Hour (remainder) on blu-ray soon, not that I would pay for Paramount+.
