Possibly the best finale of any tv show I've ever watched, they somehow find a perfect ending for every character and the story realy goes full circle.

Did they cut too much money?

It's really sad this show was amazing. I was expecting something huge for the finale like a reprise of 'Where's Rebecca Bunch' with everyone singing. I guess the channel didn't help, that-s the kind of great show that deserved better. Thank you for this great ride and for doing your best!
Nope!

As finales go, this one was a real turd. I think the show owed the fans a little bit more than whatever this was. So, Rebecca was just as screwed up at the end and had chosen yet another new occupation...and herself. Gimme a break.
I'm just going to pretend ep. 16 was the finale.

There was a time when the "I choose ME" ending was new, shocking, and empowering. That time was 20 years ago. At this point, we've all seen it in other shows. This seemed like a cop-out because the viewers were divided on Greg and Nathaniel. (Did anyone ever root for Josh?)
The show has already said many times that relying on a relationship to make you happy is a toxic way to go through life, and we've already watched Rebecca work on herself for the past 2 seasons. Hell, we've even seen her say that theater is what she wants to do, so no revelation there. I think Greg saying "You don't have to do it alone" was a better message than what we were left with.
It also just felt like an abrupt switch from "Rebecca Bunch is based on me" to "This is me, Rachel Bloom, simply talking about myself and how I got into songwriting." I think the entire audience already picked up on your backstory, Rachel.
The medley was nice, but no show-stopper. The previous episode really had a show-stopping number with "Love's Not a Game" (plus the reprise), and it really had a sense of closure with Rebecca and Greg's ending. This episode was nice for wrapping up everyone else's storylines, but to me, Rebecca chose Greg and he was with her while she worked on songwriting. Fin!

Major Letdown

The episode was really boring and didn't tell much story. I was disappointed and surprised. There's an expression in comedy of show don't say. And the device they used in this finale didn't show much except for cutaway jokes. This could've been so much better.
