Default Has Paramount+ been making itself big as the top streaming service?

Ever since it was launched it seems that Paramount+ is making itself out to be the top streaming service and I think they want to be bigger than Netflix. Because it seems that when it comes to having hit shows Paramount+ has a hit show that scores ratings. Take for instance Paramount+ has had great success with shows like Yellowstone and I cannot figure out why Yellowstone gets high ratings? Another show that I don't know why it's popular but it seems to get renewed for a season is Mayor Of Kingstown and why and how this show is a hit is a mystery I never have solved but it's very unappealing and the only reason Mayor Of Kingstown is a hit is because of Jeremy Renner as the lead star. Another successful franchise that Paramount+ has done an impressive job with is the Star Trek series of shows and Star Trek Strange New Worlds is the most successful of the Star Trek shows for Paramount+ and with Anson Mount as the star Anson hopes to be successful for Paramount+. But with shows like Landman and the NCIS spin-off Tony And Ziva it shows their lineup is a hit with fans. But what would make Paramount+ even more successful is that they should launch their own exclusive movies like holiday movies and comedies and dramas and action films and fans would like them a lot. I also think that what also makes Paramount+ successful is sports because people seem to watch their NFL games a lot and events like soccer gives them ratings. Paramount should seriously think of launching an all-sports streaming service called Paramount+ Sports or Paramount Sports and it would have heavy competition with ESPN and Fubo if it were to exist. But I think in a few years Paramount+ will continue to take off like a rocket and develop all new dramas and even perhaps develop their own exclusive game shows and focus on original sitcoms too

I think Paramount+ is thinking they can compete with the top streaming services and by having original exclusive content they prove that they are #1. But how in the world Yellowstone is a hit show I can never figure out? But it seems to be one of Paramount+'s hit shows and the show most watched on there. But how a show like Mayor Of Kingstown survives on Paramount+ i'll never know the answer to the question? Also I can see why Landman became a fast hit because it's a monster smash and dramas seem to be Paramount+'s strongest link. But in their Nickelodeon content for kids and teens they should add the entire Nickelodeon game show library not just Double Dare Nick Arcade Nickelodeon Guts Global Guts and Legends Of The Hidden Temple and other recent Nickelodeon game shows. I mean where's Finders Keepers Make The Grade Figure It Out What Would You Do? Wild And Crazy Kids and Get The Picture? Those game shows should be on Paramount+ and what about Roundhouse The Mystery Files Of Shelby Woo Space Cases Welcome Freshmen and the other classic Nickelodeon sitcoms? I think those shows really also should be added to Paramount+ too. But what also could help is Paramount+ should have their own exclusive movies that are shown only on Paramount+ because they need original movies. But the Star Trek series have been a monster success for them and with Star Trek Strange New Worlds a strong winner we will see more Star Trek series being added to Paramount+ in the future

I also think what could make Paramount+ millions is that they should get the rights to NASCAR racing and with NASCAR racing they could score dozens of subscribers and since people like NASCAR it would be a hit on Paramount+ but what I think Paramount+ needs to do is add more Paramount movies like Napoleon Dynamite Fairy Tale A True Story and add the entire John Candy Paramount movie library because it would be a great addition to Paramount+

Another thing Paramount+ is doing that is making themselves big is that they are appealing to the older demographic by launching their drama series like NCIS Tony And Ziva and Landman and judging by the success of Landman and NCIS Tony And Ziva those two shows will most likely be renewed for more seasons because I think Paramount+ knows what they are doing and will continue to improve themselves. But I think their strongest links are Star Trek shows because as we have seen with Star Trek Picard Star Trek Discovery the Star Trek animated series Star Trek Lower Decks and Star Trek Strange New Worlds Paramount+ is actually smart when it comes to Star Trek because with the Star Trek franchise every series of Star Trek is a hit and with Star Trek Strange New Worlds I think it will continue onwards because when you put Rebecca Romjin and Anson Mount together those two stars are what made Star Trek Strange New Worlds a hit. I do wish one day to see a Christopher Pike solo Star Trek series called Pike myself. But I do think it's time for Mayor Of Kingstown to end because as I mentioned many times how that show gets overhyped and renewed for seasons I never understood why? But at least Yellowstone gets big ratings for Paramount+ as the most watched show on there. But in their Nickelodeon lineup I think Nickelodeon will file for bankruptcy and rename itself Paramount Kids and if that happens Paramount+ will have the chance to develop their own exclusive kids shows and animated series. Because Paramount+ needs to have their own original kids shows and cartoons besides showing Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. shows and that would work for Paramount+ indeed

What else Paramount+ should offer is the chance to see exclusive holiday programming such as CBS's Thanksgiving Day Parade for free and offer Christmas specials such as holiday concerts and exclusive Christmas movies and that would be great for all Paramount+ subscribers. Because for some reason Paramount+ lacks in holiday programming every Thanksgiving and Christmas and I can't figure that out. But that's one thing Paramount+ needs to improve on. But as I mentioned how Mayor Of Kingstown is still a smash hit for Paramount+ i'll never know and the only show that seems to be a strong winner is Star Trek Strange New Worlds because anything Star Trek is a winner with fans. But I truly think Paramount+ is trying hard to compete with Netflix and Peacock when it comes to original programming

I think the premiere of Season 2 of Landman will help Paramount+ score big in ratings and score as many subscribers as they can because I think Paramount+ wants badly to compete with Prime Video Netflix and Peacock and they want to put more original shows and I think Paramount+ thinks that with hit shows like Mayor Of Kingstown 1923 Tulsa King Yellowstone and now with Landman Season 2 Paramount+ will indeed become bigger and with more future shows planned such as the Season 4 premiere of Star Trek Strange New Worlds Paramount+ will overtake Netflix as the #1 streaming service. But they need to add more movies of the Paramount library and create a kids shows streaming service and it would be huge for Paramount+ if it were to happen

I seriously think that Paramount+ is trying to copy Netflix by developing and focusing on original shows and content. Because Paramount+ has scored success with Star Trek series and now they're doing the same thing to Yellowstone with the new Dutton Ranch series. But where I think Paramount+ sees big ratings is sports and if you look at Paramount+ they want their hands on any major sporting event such as the Super Bowl and March Madness and even UFC matches and soccer and I can see why big major sporting events like NFL football on Thanksgiving New Year's Day and the Super Bowl are wanting to be shown on Paramount+ because they want to attract more subscribers to them and the more subscribers the higher the ratings of sporting events go up
