What constitutes a “failure”? Netflix is as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle, Hulu can’t make a UI to save their lives and may as well be a reality TV/game show app with how little the big three networks put out anymore, and Disney+ lacks adult programming outside of Marvel (and that’s being generous). Apple TV+ is what you go to see at your local art house theatre. It’s different, it’s original, and it has amazing production values—-all at a decent price. Just because it’s not your cup of tea doesn’t make it a “failure on so many levels”.
It’s not really hyperbole when they’re actually going to be facing a massive content drought in the near future and won’t be able to justify price increases while offering less. There was a quote from the Wall Street Journal even saying “the three companies launching new streaming services have created TV shows and movies that make up nearly 40 percent of the viewing minutes on Netflix.“ Netflix may seem to put out content frequently, but it’s 100 miles long and two inches deep.
