The expanse was sci-fi then Prime Video though?

When it was on scifi the funding was done by splitting syndication rights with scifi, amazon and netflix

Scifi dropped out because they didn’t think enough people watched it, their inferior cable model has no way of collecting data on what actual humans do, and when they would do it especially by being limited in airings things at a set time

This effectively cancelled the show since it didn’t have funding

And then amazon/jeff bezos picked it up completely after a major fan campaign

SyFy?
Yes them
I think maybe it was on Netflix outside the US?
It's also possible that I'm simply confused and forgot which service I watched it on because it was a while ago.
