Apple TV+ Marketshare: 0.2%

[danny842003]

I find I have almost stopped watching television altogether. It’s like my brain has realised almost all of it is fake, fabricated nonsense. I watched Severance season 1 when it came out, I’ve watched Sandman season 1 on Netflix, I’ve watched one or two movies and a few documentaries… that’s been about it for the last two years.

Mythology still holds my interest, hence Sandman. But really things like CSI or House no longer appeal to me, however great the acting. For many people the characters in these tv shows become like friends, but their lives are totally unrelated to what we know of the real world.

The television can be a mind-expanding device, if people take the trouble to tell truth through that medium. But what we get are endless confabulations and dramatisations. It’s all half truths and delusions. Then I prefer something like Severance or Foundation, which are clearly works of fiction.

You mean game of thrones wasn’t real?

McDonalds makes billions selling crap food. Money does not equal quality. The feckless Tim Cook could make 10 times the money Apple makes now and my contempt for him would only go higher.

😂 Why are you on this website?

TV+ is not quality over quantity. We keep jumping between different services, usually have 1-2 of the biggest services at any given time. And the % of must see shows (for our family of fours) is pretty much the same with all the services.

TV+ has one major advantage. It is practically free. Just this week yet another 3 month trial ended and I just used another offer the same day and... free 3 months again.

It's free as long as you buy a brand new Apple device every 3 months (Mac, iPhone, iPad, TV, Vision Pro include it I believe). I suspect some people on this forum do but I certainly don't!

From the free trial subscriptions, level of use, and and limited content I wouldn't subscribe.

Nobody does. It's an appalling service.

I think at the moment Apple TV+ is only really being used by Apple TV owners. So that limits the marketshare. I think the majority of people who subscribe are heavily invested in the Apple ecosystem. I think for people outside of the ecosystem it’s a tough sale.

Apple TV+ loses over one BILLION dollars per year. All that effort and all that investment produces nothing but heavy losses. This of course does not count the opportunity losses that Apple could have made had the money and effort been invested elsewhere. Surely that is a billion dollars if not more.

This is what happens when you have a feckless CEO, incapable of innovating like Tim Cook.

He'd rather make mediocre, forgettable media content that 99.8% of the population never watches.

Plus some great art.
