Looking for data confirmation. PIcard S3 only ranks 46th on P+?

Streaming contraction, which is coming.
Yeah, not likely. All the streamers like a sweet spot when it comes to overall episode vs production cost of episodes; so anytime the actor's or crew's contracts end, and are up for renewal (which usually means a raise of some sort) <-- Yeah, that's when they'll pull the plug in most cases; unless the show is an extreme outlier WRT viewing hours or some metric showing it's preeminently responsible for subscriber retention - and even then they may instead cancel the show and go with a spinoff.
(Example: See Yellowstone also cancelled with Season 5, 1883 and 1923.)
 
I'm not sure why large media corporations thought it was going to be more profitable for them to shoulder all the costs of production, marketing, and distribution and pay for it by spinning up an entire new direct-to-consumer business line, instead of selling the rights out as they did for the prior 80+ years, but I enjoy watching huge multinational corporations fail, so I'm having a great time.
