- Netflix…Hulu…Disney+…HBO MAX…Paramount+…Peacock. -- nm - IAmQale May 19, 13:37 2
  - Had Paramount improved over All Access? At least Peacock somewhat remembers what episode you’re on. -- nm - spamlet May 19, 13:41 1
    - No. It didn’t change at all. Still no actual watchlist. Technically Peacock/Paramount are kind of tied. I give Paramount the edge for their hubs. -- nm - IAmQale May 19, 13:46
- 1) Netflix -- A+ 2) Disney+ -- A 3) HBO Max -- B+ 4) Hulu+ -- B 5) Paramount+ -- B- 6) Peacock -- C 7) Discover+ -- F -- nm - David May 19, 13:35 1

- The absolute worst but I still watch it is Night Flight - JD May 19, 13:31
- They all kind of suck, tbh. I like HBOMax but it is buggy - JaxSean May 19, 13:30
- 1) Hulu 2) Prime 3) Netflix* 4) HBO Max 5) Paramount+^ - prayformojo May 19, 13:26
- Trade 2 and 6, and delete 3 and 4 (since I do not have them). -- nm - Spawn May 19, 13:25 2
  - You know, they have a lot of Batman stuff on HBO -- nm - con_carne May 19, 13:48 1

    - Hulu makes bank from the ad-supported tier. Not everyone seems to be as smart as Hulu -- nm - oblique May 19, 13:24 1

  - Mine is July 7th - I expect I'll probably cancel HBOMax at that point - I just don't watch it enough to justify I don't think -- nm - decline May 19, 13:14 1
    - If I was paying for Prime, I'd cancel that. I probably watch in order: 1. HBO 2. Netflix 3. Hulu 4. Prime - JaxSean May 19, 13:26
- *makes big X with arms* If I'm paying $10, you're not showing me any [censored] ads, you [censored] [censored] [censored]s. -- nm - Barontronic May 19, 13:07 1
  - Same goes for car companies, but multiply it by 5000x -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 13:08

      - Yup. -- nm - David May 19, 13:02
