Always felt that Netflix machine gun sprays their content into oblivion to see where it lands, which gives me decision paralysis. I just started using Apple TV+ two weeks ago and wow, it’s so refreshing to see how curating high quality content makes it easier for me to consume media.
I probably miss a lot of TV shows/movies that interest me on Netflix. They produce so much content. Content that interests me gets “lost in the sauce”.
I’ve started having the same issue with Max. And all I want is HBO but now must pay higher prices for content that I don’t want and a clumsy UX.
Both Netflix and Max charge extra for 4K, Dolby Vision, and Dolby Atmos. They don’t care about customer satisfaction. They only care about subscription numbers.
A premium service won’t nickel and dime their customers.
And if your core business is your content, wouldn’t you want to offer the best experience and not one that is subpar? Poor video/audio quality can ruin a good movie… and also elevate an average one.
Apple seems to care about the customer experience. Their content is well curated and they offer excellent video and audio quality.
I’ll likely soon cancel Netflix and resubscribe for a month here and there. Max may also be on the chopping block for me as well… after the Gilded Age ends its season.
