Also all of that interfaces really suck it's like they don't actually want you to use their platforms.
Apple TV is the buggiest piece of crap I've ever used, Amazon prime TVs interface is confusing as hell, even Disney can't pull it off with their categories of Marvel, Star Wars, kids movies, and other, where other contains literally everything else.
There are streaming services that only contain four seasons of a show with 16 seasons, then there is a different streaming services that contain everything but those first four seasons.
Is it any wonder people pirate, they raise the price diminish the catalogue split everything up into 60 different services and all of them have terrible UX. It's like they don't even want my money.
Netflix used to be pretty good. Then they started prioritizing advertisement over user experience so now it takes time to even get back to the shows you watched before.
Everyone has followed this exact same pattern so all the streaming services are terrible now. While pricing has gone through the roof.
Don't even get me started on the region and country based bullshit. Somehow these huge conglomerates aren't able to offer the same selection everywhere.
Wait, the streaming service or the device? Because the device is the best out there. The streaming service? No idea; I use these:
Works very well on my Roku.
It’s more intuitive than Amazon and D+. Only Netflix is as smooth and useable for me.
🤷♂️
Meanwhile, the folks over at FMHY had to revise their star system because streaming services have become incredibly competitive and to find more ways to differentiate them all.
Apple TV+ isn't too bad IMO... IF you use it on an Apple device, everywhere else it's shit
