Reddit can never handle truth based on critical thinking. As you say, lowest common denominator isn't the same as playing 2-3 shows over and over every single day, which is what MTV and Comedy Central do now. I assume they're shelling out $0 until their cable license agreements run out and then they'll shutter the cable channels and move what's left of those brands to sections of Paramount+.

Except playing the same 2-3 shows over and over has been MTV's modus operandi for the last 3 decades. This is not something remotely new from the era of streaming that MTV was forced to do. The show that they're pushing may have changed, but that's all.

That's not true at all. There was tons of different programming throughout the 90s and early 2000s.
