Interesting, but I'm not sure it's a great guage for judging the quality of a streaming service. I don't know a lot of people really hoping to snag a few views of Hamlet or many of the other shows on HBO Max.

It’s also inaccurate if you’re one of the dozens of people who don’t live in the USA either. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Depends on what you're looking for. I tend to appreciate these sort of classic highbrow movies and I have a long-term goal to watch all the Best Picture winners (which is what lead me to collect this data). A few weeks ago I watched Bridge on the River Kwai for the first time and found it amazing how well it held up despite being over 60 years old.

Makes sense from a brand positioning perspective. HBO being oriented around prestige TV, HBO max would probably want to be in a similar place.
