Interestingly, I’m finding less and less to watch on Amazon Prime Video (actually watching old shows from the 60s through the 80s now because of the dearth of new shows and movies). Perhaps both Apple and Disney’s new streaming services will do the trick.
I'm on the same boat. I just watch House on Prime and Brooklyn 99 on Netflix.
I do watch a couple of movies every week on either of them, but I'm sure I'll find other sources, if I was to stop subscriptions to either.
Unlike most companies, Apple does not start with the profit and back into the product that will generate that profit. Instead, they create a great product that improves people's lives and derives its profit from that.
In this case, that is not what will happen. Did you miss the part where Tim Cook is overly involved and demanding family-friendly only content, and nothing that portrays technology in a negative light? Basically Apple is going to force you to watch what they think you should watch. Sorry, that is not how it works, nor is that what consumers want. Look what they did with Carpool Karaoke and that ridiculous show called Planet of the Apps. Apple does not need to be in the TV services business, especially when they know nothing about it.
Im sure people were saying the same thing when they entered the music industry, we all know how that turned out.
Apple did not create new music to sell to people. Apple offered the same product that everyone else was already buying in stores. Big difference. Apple cannot get any content deals to offer existing movies or TV shows that people want to watch, so they are trying to create their own 'original' content that no one is interested in watching. Sorry, but Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston are not exactly big box office stars that people rush out to go see. No one is interested in family-friendly only content.
I agree it will be small like Apple's pathetic attempt at entering the phone business they knew nothing about and more recently the useless AppleWatch that will never make a dime. Jeez, when will Apple ever learn eh? (so I really need an /s?)
Can you explain why almost all developers have abandoned the Apple Watch? It is a great fitness device, but developers are not wasting their time with it since trying to use an app on the watch is not a fun experience.

I’m curious to know how Apple plans to force me to watch content.

I have plenty of third party apps on my Apple Watch that work fine. But they also work well in the Watch form factor. For instance, the Alarm.com app works just like the app on my iPhone does for arming/disarming my alarm system. I use it all the time. The developers who “abandoned” their Apple Watch apps (that I had, anyway) weren’t really right for the Watch. They tried, realized it wasn’t a fit and then took it down. That only makes sense. Likewise, I have apps on my Mac that don’t exist on iPhone.
