> Lmao more content doesn’t literally = better, otherwise you could take that to the extreme and just upload random hour-long videos of paint drying on the studio walls or something.

You just had to interpret it like this didn't you? 😂😂

> Netflix has clearly taken the quantity over quality approach

> Apple TV+ is also clearly playing the “quality over quantity” approach

lol you keep saying this buzz term, and I keep telling you this is not a thing bruh. This is just not how you gauge the success of a streaming service. Do you think it's just a coincidence that Netflix gained around 2 million subscribers this past quarter, the same quarter they released the most TV episodes they've ever released?

I can elaborate, but I'm currently watching something and my fingers are tired. lol. I wished you'd caught me on a day where I could debate this for hours.

And HBO has spent 20 years as the channel for premium content by giving a shit about what they attached their name to. Do you think it's a coincidence they were able to charge hundreds of dollars a year on top of cable costs and thrive while doing it? Would you spend $60 a month on Netflix? Because millions of Americans have been spending around that on HBO since the 90s.

Eeeeeehh... I was just talking about streaming services there man (as I said in the earlier reply). Comparing Netflix with the traditional HBO channel is pointless. There's just nothing to compare there. We're in a different time now. We consume content differently, content is made differently, and for the most part we even discuss content differently.
