They made $14 billion in Q4 of 2024… what even does losing 250 million a quarter mean compared to those numbers? I think they need to stay the course and maybe even expand faster, to be perfectly honest.

Also, every Apple hardware purchase should come with like another year of Apple TV imho. Or link it by level, like an iPhone Pro Max is 1 year. An iPhone Pro is 6 months. An iPhone is 3 months. Something that keeps as many Apple eyeballs engaged as possible so that you at least have a core viewership to talk it up to all their friends?

I make $56k per year.
To me, this would be like paying $4000 per year for something.

It would be like losing $25 if you made $140. Still a significant loss and a loss none the less. They seem to have the least appealing shoes out of any subscription service in my opinion

I mean, I agree 1 billion is a lot of money, but if they're trying to really grab viewers and keep them, I think they have to make it a worthy proposition and they started waaaaay behind the other streaming services, who have had a lot longer to collect a worthy back catalogue of content.

They've had a number of shockingly good shows too, though. Like if you have missed any of these, you've missed out a bit, IMHO.

Ted Lasso
Shrinking
Silo
Slow Horses
For All Mankind
The Morning Show
Severance

Actually losing $2.5 but still made $140

You only lose money if the customer would have paid for it otherwise.
