Netflix has co-CEOs. One for tech and one for content. They value both equally
Amazon is a tech company and pays their software developers tech company wages.
The rest are media businesses. HBOMax specifically are owned by Discovery who has always been interested in doing things as cheaply as possible.
While Disney/Hulu are also on the surface media companies. Disney bought BamTech who had the best streaming technology/people outside of Netflix and Disney has always cared about technology
But why for everything that is holy are you watching the ad tier of streaming services?
i agree with the high level (budget, corner cutting), but I'm curious about deliberate decisions to build things so awfully. some of these decisions take more work to do wrong than right (android keeps activities resident, for example -- unloading ads layers is trivial)
I am sure there are also deals where I can get a monthly anal probe with a cactus. I won’t be doing that either. Actually it’s a toss up as far as which one is worse.
The last time I watched broadcast TV, I had a DirectTV box with first TiVo and later their own pretty good DVR. I think I had my first DirectTivo in 2003. It’s been over two decades since I sat through commercials regularly outside of the occasional big event sports as social gatherings or award shows we watch live to discuss with friends on social media
