Apple TV+ is the worst streaming service (alien.top)

Got a subscription today because Silo looks like it's right down my alley. 2 hours later the excitement is gone because I can't get it running on my TV.

I use Chromecast to watch stuff on my TV. I have an older Android smartphone and an older MacBook with Mojave. Both devices don't support the app. Streaming in browser on my Mac works but it doesn't have a proper Chromecast function, I can only mirror the tab and the quality is horrendous.

I'm not an Apple fan and this cemented my disdain for this company. All they care about is selling their overpriced devices. What's the point of having a streaming service when you're not willing to make it universally available?!

Rant over.

“Not willing to make it universally available”…?

Here’s a link listing the literal hundreds of devices that support the Apple TV app. I’d recommend checking supported devices next time before signing up for a service and make sure you have one.

And here’s a link on how to cast Apple TV content from the Chrome browser.

If after reading all of this, and you actually get to experience the service, and you still don’t like it, maybe then you can come and complain about how bad the streaming service is. But until then, making a “wOrSt sTrEaMiNg sErViCe” post because you can’t figure out how it works isn’t going to bode well.
