Just look at any Apple TV subreddit, or the Apple TV plus subreddit. Nobody.You have no evidence for this at all.

"cheap to produce" and "easy cash-in"The only reason Netflix is going big on anime is because it's cheap to produce and can be created as an easy cash-in on other existing franchises, lots of which are currently receiving anime spin-offs.
If that's "the big future for streaming" then heaven help us.
In the same way dodgy Windows PCs and Android phones are cheap to produce but Apple makes premium quality hardware maybe that’s the same with its content output? Maybe Apple wants to focus on creating a higher quality experience with notable writers and directors, not animated spin-offs of remakes of 90s videogames."cheap to produce" and "easy cash-in"
How would this not be the big future for streaming?People want lots of content in a variety of genres and tastes, not Apple TV+.

Very much this. Apple has had the rug pulled out from under them, and they don't like it. Buying to make certain that the content (current and new) isn't denied to them in the future seems prudent, if they feel the company is a good fit for them.If another media company buys them, those "great ideas" will be on their streaming platform, not ATV+.
And "The Morning Show" and the other projects Apple has with them would very likely eventually be pulled from ATV+ once the current streaming deals for each expires.
Like aiming for big-budget AAA games for Apple arcade or only top names for music streaming? Content is fundamentally different from hardware, they really need to deliver TV content in a very broad spectrum.In the same way dodgy Windows PCs and Android phones are cheap to produce but Apple makes premium quality hardware maybe that’s the same with its content output?

The fact that Apple doesnt provide the general public detailed breakdown of its revenue on service-by-service basis, doesn't man that Apple doesn't know how much it is earnings from paid subscribers and how much it is investing in keeping this service at float. Saying that Apple TV+ is in its infancy is not accurate, since Disney+ was also recently lunched but had tremendous success and attracted many viewers without offering year-wide free subscription. I guess time will tell.
I agree! I’ve never seen half as much quality sci-fi content in production as there is now. No way all these shows are profitable, but hey — I’ll let that be a problem for the green visor people lolI say more steaming platforms the merrier. They have to compete and we win. I don’t think much of apples choices of content but hopefully they’ll keep at it. Or even get serious about it later.
