I don't agree with Maddie saying that her purchases had much to do with how far the show got, though.
If you're ensuring that a trademark is in place, it's just more of legal protection. Your viewers don't see that. Or care tbh
Necessary... yes. but it has little to do with the actual entertainment factor of your show or how many viewers you'd get, etc.
Saying you dropped 1K+ on the trademark and several hundred dollars to buy a domain from someone else really says little about what really made the show what it was, and what got people interested. So if she's building her case on that here, it's a pretty weak case.
I have to be fair here.
But she's rightfully digging into Khia. And gnawing on the arms of that molded couch for filth. I'm here for it.
