Starfleet Academy Official Trailer

Depends on the channel. I'm willing to bet people commenting on Star Trek skew older. Just like the folks commenting on music reactions when the music is "oldies". Of course millennials are in their thirties and forties. They're Grumps!

Finally! People respecting my game!

As for Social Media comments, how people engage with it on social media is not at all the important question. People are going to watch it, and hate watching is just called watching by Paramount. It's a subscription. Until fans are willing to stop watching the show they supposedly hate Paramount will just tally numbers.

Other than that, Youtube is an unearned platform that reflects rather poor segment of humanity.

I really hope there's a starship in SFA with the registry NCC-90210.

The USS Beverly Hills?

Let's game this out a bit.

If the assumption is that Paramount is banking on subs from Starfleet Academy, then they're making content for a demographic that

Churns subscriptions relentlessly
Has the least disposable income (households with $150k+ income have ~3 subs, $75k and under typically have 1)
Prefers free content over paid subscriptions
Shares passwords
Rejects "modernized" content

Gen Z aren't known to be a high income demographic, so we can assume 1 paid sub, which probably won't be Paramount+.

So even if they do watch it, they aren't going to be paying for it (someone else's subscription), will pay for a month or two then churn, or will watch it for free using alternative methods.

That makes how people engage with it on social media VERY important, because they use social media buzz to decide which service gets their scarce subscription dollars "that month".

And as we've already exhaustively gone over, the social media response has been mostly trolling.
