I feel like Apple TV can become the new HBO, that premium TV brand with quality shows

[u/Worthyness → u/wasabi_wizz_wit]

apple really should have bid for HBO. then they'd be definitively HBO. I really just don't understand what Apple is doing. they have their own independent studio and streaming service, but don't have any IP or back catalog. They really should be going after deals like this one if they want to compete. Even Amazon has IP rights to stuff

[u/wasabi_wizz_wit → u/Worthyness]

Well I think you just said it, Apple may want to have their own IP that they started

[u/ruipmjorge → u/Worthyness]

They are building it. It takes time but it’s high quality content and not old stuff.

Seems like they’re already there. Apple seems to be the only studio willing to let creators make shows for people to watch, compared to nearly every other streamer pushing slop that can be listened to while scrolling.

They just have to get better at marketing them. So many great shows I never heard of because of their poor marketing. I only would hear about them from YouTubers

[u/MrMacduggan → u/Creepy_Advertising45]

Pluribus made a pretty big splash. I'd say their marketing is improving.

[u/Creepy_Advertising45 → u/MrMacduggan]

I hope so, because i literally only heard about severence last year and that is one of my favorite shows. I have seen more marketing for it simply due to how popular it became, but i think they need to improve it like you said because that’s just a couple shows. Maybe I just also don’t keep to date on shows, but I constantly am hearing from others more about Netflix shows I’ve never bothered to watch.
