Oh, I already ranted over in https://lemmy.world/post/22226162 first but,

As an Android user, how do you propose I watch? I'm aware that you released to some Android TV devices a few years ago, you haven't released to the Android OS yet and as a Chromecast user I'm still out of luck.

You're ignoring a huge section of the market, so go fuck yourself Apple. You don't get to ignore users and then complain that no one is watching.

Do you remember when Game of Thrones was only available via HBO Go, which was only available via iOS devices and then Game of Thrones was the most pirated TV show? I FUCKING WONDER WHY???

I've (somehow?) watched a number of Apple shows and they are good shows. Mythic Quest, Shrinking, Severance. I'm you're target audience, it's time you pay attention to that audience.

You're not picking me up now, I've already found "other methods" but you can win me back if you make it easier. It's going to take some time, but time to get started.

They were recently added as a channel in Prime, at least in the US. Can’t you access it through that?

Oh I figured out a way a long time ago. But since they make it a pain to watch, I'm going to make it a pain to be a user.

I pay for enough streaming services as it is, and they all behave in a way that makes me happy (enough).

Also looks like I'd need to already be paying for Amazon Prime, so I'd already be out of luck. Plus of all the apps Prime is the worst, so I'm not looking to jump back into the Prime app. (I dropped Prime earlier this year once they added ads.)
