A corporation with enough cash reserves to finance the global cancer research - or finance the colonization of Mars - has absolutely no imagination to put its money to proper use. What happened to "here's to the crazy ones"?

A corporation with enough cash reserves to finance the global cancer research - or finance the colonization of Mars - has absolutely no imagination to put its money to proper use. What happened to "here's to the crazy ones"?
OK, I can't be the only person with this question, and to me, it shows a gaping whole in Apple's advertising strategy, normally one of Apple's strengths:
How do I watch these things? What do I need? Are they purchased from iTunes? Do I need a subscription to Apple Music? Do I need an Apple TV device? Can I see them with a Mac? I'm interested in buying them but have no idea where to find them.

Apple Music won’t be home for the video content, but your point is well taken. Whether Apple’s video service will be available on devices other than their own is unknown at this point.
You don’t watch them. They haven’t been released yet. When they are released, presumably it will be a new section of the “TV.app” on Apple devices, but we’ll see.
Back before we cut our cable, my wife would watch HGTV for hours. Just saying.
I’d watch it if it were like the documentary “queen of versailles.” Otherwise, nope.
This is a complete joke. Watching a bunch of rich celebrities parade around their ostentatious & pretentious garbage. Sounds exactly like something Apple would produce honestly.
Good point...
I would love this, as I loved the original, but there is no chance of me paying for an Apple Music sub just for these shows.
Apple is not Netflix, and I doubt they will become them any time soon.
And now Apple Homes....see how Siri can mess up simple commands. "Hey Siri, turn on the lights" fireplace turns on.
Another thing to stroke the ego of rich celebrities who are out of touch with reality and think we should all care what they think about life, etc. Apple seems to be all about this kind of thing of late.
Yeah, I'll watch "Homes" instead of watching "Jessica Jones" Season 2 or "Black Mirror" season 4… NOT!
This is what happens when Apple VPs are so rich that they have no clue what regular people watch.

I would find this interesting. Coming from Apple, tho, it is an admission they truly have no idea what they are doing.
Any ideas of how they’d distribute original content?
What I mean is, will they offer it for free to people who own a Mac, iOS device, or Apple TV? Will they bundle it with Apple Music? Will they make it a seperate subscription? Will they charge per episode / show?

I’m actually looking forward to this one as long as the houses aren’t as nouveau rich tacky as most of the ones from most shows. If they show anything by Peter Zumthor, I’m in.
Or Sir Ive marveling over how thin the toilet seats are. I would subscribe to AM in a heart beat to see that. Priceless!
My wife still watches HGTV, Lifetime, and O. That's why you'll notice no negative judgment against any of those networks in original comment.
I ain't that crazy. What you see in my comment is 100% unadulterated shade tossed Apple's way for the lack of originality in their original programming attempts. It's honestly hard to watch the level of ineptitude on display from a company that typically makes pretty good successes out of most things they do. Now, understandibly, other opinions may differ from mine. They're absolutely wrong, but they may differ nonetheless.
Shivers really? This would be the new version of Cribs or something? Ratings will be through the roof /s
If Apple were to build other products outside their ecosystem, it's going to work as great as how Windows iTunes works.
I don't understand given Apple's talents how much they suck at making apps outside their ecosystem. Arguably even their own apps are pretty unremarkable.
