re: Can someone explain the business model that CBS has going?

NetFlix covered 75% of the production costs to get the international streaming rights on Star Trek Discovery so they don't have to make money like normal on the show for it to be successful. That's allowing them to try and force people behind the pay wall.
CBS has been like this forever. Back when Hulu started they were practically the only network not participating. They think they can do their own service eventually but they're wrong. People will subscribe to 2-4 services tops. CBS All Access isn't making the shortlist for most people.

I’m fine with them locking down their content for people without provider logins.
Locking down their content from people that pay already is double dipping.

So, so far...
We have Netflix paying for the bulk of the production (which looks awesome) and making money off of it already in every market but the U.S. and Canada.
CBS boosted their pay service with their biggest sign-up days ever.
CBS still has the option of showing the first season on CBS, after it's run for a year or two on CBS All Access. That'll lead into the 2019 season on CBS All Access, building the audience there.
Doesn't seem like that bad of a business model to me.
