If the product is good people will pay...I have paramount plus. It has all seasons of love boat some which have not been released on dvd. It had all the reasonable happy days but for some reason only season 2 is now available. I've seen the RW reunions on it as well.
I originally got peacock for beyond Salem but it also has the entire run of punky brewster...a spin off Dateline, golf and tennis that are not on tv. They've also included MLB games. I don't think $ 4.99 is that bad compared to what others charge. But to get it to watch the garbage that is Days alone is not worth it IMO when it was free and I would miss episodes because the show is so bad.
