Because they can basically go anywhere they want and make bank, or just release it through Patreon or something. They probably laughed when they got offered that cash, knowing it's likely to bankrupt the service, but they don't care. Sure, bankrupt yourself trying to keep control over something you so clearly don't.
Guaranteed when showing this episode to Paramount execs, they were asked to change things and they just say "Air this as is, or we release it for free." Like, do you understand who you're talking to?

It’s like my friend who intended to start his own company and waited for a buyout from ATCO Gas, took it and went to work for himself. The severance provided startup cash and he doubled his income.
