Milan Obsession (@milanobsession) reportedNot cool, @CBSSportsGolazo on @paramountplus We all heard the World Feed with @patrickendrick. Then your brains had technical issues, thinking that it would be better to have your atrocious American commentators. Thanks for ruining Mother's Day.

CentralCoastPatriot (@Ceedog4) reported@paramountplus Sheridan is Hollywood…, everything is the worst kind of stereotypical BS. Most of ranching is hard work and fighting bureaucracy.
-
HoosierOnX (@HoosierOnX) reportedFinally found the full #UFCPerth fight card on @paramountplus and I'm all the way to the Malkoun/Meerschaert fight (#5) and the app gives me a countdown before moving back to the first fight on the card and now doesn't show an option for the full card? @ufc would you work with them to fix this crap? It's always like this
-
Christian Capozzoli (@CHRISTCAPP) reported@UFConParamount @paramountplus One of the most impressive boxing performances I’ve ever seen in the UFC. Van is going to be a problem. Tatsuro has a serious chin. You can’t really blame him for doing some boring sht to save his life, kid was taking a beating.
-
rareactionfigures (@rareactionfigs) reported@ufc @JoshuaVanBT @paramountplus Such a bizarre point yo stop it lol. Like taira was in way more danger in round 2. Let van tucking finish him off by giving him a few more god damn seconds. That was legot the worst timed stoppage i have seen in a good while. And legit makes me want to check ribeiro’s fanduel lol.
-
Kevin J Morgan (@KevinJMorgan) reported@paramountplus @ufc when are yall ever gonna fix the glitching ? Everytime when significant strikes are thrown it glitches !!! It’s 2026 and as far as technology has come this is the best yall can do ? Go back to the cameras they used in the 80’s,90’s, 2000’s you can watch live Tyson fights n it was better than this
-

-
Josh (@josh_wenke) reported@WillieHowe @paramountplus Whitelisting outbound to a few countries is noise reduction at best. These kind of issues aren't unique to Paramount. CDNs are globally distributed. Threats aren't really stopped. Seriously, why are you doing this? What are you thinking you'll gain?
