I avoid SERIES lock-ins. I don’t want the time commitment.
I prefer Movies.

The Stories are Mediocre and production values are lower than movies.

Okay? Good for you? That’s certainly an opinion. Not sure how many people share it.

I don't. I hit up all the major streaming services, when they have full seasons up of the series I follow. AppleTV+ is one of the best for this. Then while I'm doing my month or two, I check what movies they have as a bonus but that's not what I'm there for really.

This is a rare article that actually tries to suss out what Apple is doing with AppleTV+. Clearly they're not chasing total subscriber numbers. If they were, just buy Netflix and rename it AppleTV+. Boom, now you're the market leader. Or if that's too pricey, start churning out the same tsunami of crap that Netflix does. True crime, romcom, heists, 70 shows about serial killers etc. Can't be that hard to mimic. The fact that Apple has spent years doing the opposite means they have some other strategy entirely. Using AppleTV+ as a loss leader to boost Apple One subscriptions is one possibility.
