Reportedly high budget has brought Apple TV+ a lot of prestige, but not a lot of viewers.
I see pirated Apple shows all the time and I just pass. I’m very uninterested in their content, even for free.
As an Android user, how do you propose I watch?
I’m aware that you released to some Android TV devices a few years ago, you haven’t released to the Android OS yet and as a Chromecast user I’m still out of luck.
You’re ignoring a huge section of the market, so go fuck yourself Apple. You don’t get to ignore users and then complain that no one is watching.
Do you remember when Game of Thrones was only available via HBO Go, which was only available via iOS devices and then Game of Thrones was the most pirated TV show? I FUCKING WONDER WHY???
I’ve (somehow?) watched a number of Apple shows and they are good shows. Mythic Quest, Shrinking, Severance. I’m you’re target audience, it’s time you pay attention to that audience. You’re not picking me up now, I’ve already found “other methods” but you can win me back if you make it easier. It’s going to take some time, but time to get started.
I watch Apple TV shows more than any other service. I love SciFi and they have an excellent set of shows in that genre.
I can tell no one is watching though. The just cancelled Big Door Prize, which was really good.
There’s plenty Id really like to watch on Apple TV. In fact, I watched Severance using my parents account while they had it temporarily. But now that I’ve tried it, I know that there’s no point in me getting it because they make it as hard as possible to watch anything if you don’t have specific devices. Literally all the other streaming services make it stupid easy to watch what you want using any device. But Apple still has a decades old stick up their ass about proprietary bullshit and they want you to get an iPhone for the simplest experience. I have loads of different devices and I ended up using an old MacBook with chrome to cast the browser to my TV. And that was really annoying and I’m not about to pay for that experience. You want my money? Make it easy. It’s that simple.
There’s another way.
I just watch shows. Don’t care which network they come from. :)
Apple has about 259 shows and movies compared to Netflix’s approximately 18,000.
Given genre preferences, that’s about 20 watchable shows, then?
Are people not watching? It’s my understanding that the movies have flopped but the tv shows are doing well.
If I were to commit myself to a single streaming service it would probably be Apple TV
Which are your favourite shows ?
If it all drags out like Wolfs I am not suprised.
We didn’t make it to the end. Good premise, way too much senseless talking.
