@John E.
Be it your inclination or that of others to cast an indifferent gaze upon it, to harbor apathy or dismiss it as mundane—irrefutably, Yellowstone stands as a cultural spectacle. It transcends the confines of a mere television success.
Acknowledging your discerning eye that uncovered the Paramount network typo, permit me to confess that the meticulous scrutiny of forum posts seldom becomes a habit in my routine.

While you express an unfamiliarity of Yellowstone it is and has been the most popular show on TV.  In the current declining TV viewership it is an abnormality and a phenomenon that is reaching massive amounts of people.
As the tapestry of Yellowstone's fourth season gracefully unfolded, its concluding episode resonated with an audience reminiscent of the fervor surrounding the season finale of Game of Thrones in 2016. Yellowstone’s same day viewership was higher than Game of Thrones - (9.3 million vs 8.9 million).  To illustrate the point further the series ending episode of Breaking Bad (2013) drew 10.3 million same day viewers.
While your unfamiliarity of Yellowstone may linger, an intriguing oddity emerges -  in today’s TV medium it has a colossal fan base and its rating rivals shows from times that had fewer options competing for viewership.

Maybe you've missed the spectacle of Yellowstone unfolding before your eyes?  Yellowstone, with its reruns gracing the CBS screen, drew an audience of 5.49 million, akin to the viewership that accompanied The Walking Dead in its inaugural season.  As the seasons unfolded on the Paragon network, the audience burgeoned steadily. Come the premiere of the fifth Yellowstone season, a staggering 12.1 million pairs of eyes were tuned in.

In the tumult of Disney's trials, the tempest brewed when an overflow of content swept away the essence of anticipation. As folks endeavored to consume the deluge, they found themselves drowning in a sea of excess. The magic began to wane, and the once vibrant tales turned pallid, prompting hearts to disengage from the enchantment the company once so fervently bestowed.

In the yesterday's Heritage Auction, did the dance of the gavel deem the Ryan Stegman's Barracuda vs. Punisher #3 cover to a humbler fate than anticipated? The buyer received not only Stegman's graphite ballet on one page but also the rhythmic ink strokes of JP Mayer on another.
The mini-series was cancelled.  The cover was a herald of solicitations before Marvel dropped the ax on it. Does a cover, curated by Stegman's skilled hand, not command a sum loftier than the modest $380.00+- it received at the auction’s end?

Brutal

In the pages of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein," penned in 1818, we find the roots of a tale deeply intertwined with the human pursuit of knowledge, grappling with the moral quandaries that accompany scientific experimentation—a narrative sown in the fertile soil of speculative (science) fiction.
