    It’s the old HBO, high quality, sometimes high-concept shows.

    But HBO had movies (a lot of movies) to keep it popular, Apple TV doesn’t really have the same level.

    As HBO continues to sink into the dirt, there might be room for Apple to reclaim some of the higher-income customers, but we also don’t have a solid streaming genre specialization yet, ie you go to netflix for romcoms, you go to Max for fantasy like HoD.

    Until we have some level of specialization, everyone has to either subscribe to everything, or hop between/borrow friends accounts, and Apple TV is the least worthwhile because it has so little ‘netflix noise’ like the old days had infinite reruns of The Office.
