I pay $4.99 a month for Paramount + so I can watch the Star Trek series. $4.99 includes commercials. It's fine.
A great hack for Paramount+ is to take your favorite college team (for me its WSU) and subscribe to their 247 sports website (cougfan, beaver blitz, duck territory), which is owned by CBS and they give you a free Paramount account with no commercials. The subscriptions are $75 a year but great deal with the P+ add on.
This discovery WB merge is going to mess things up. HBO is already cutting costs and programs like crazy. I love the current HBO also.
