Would it be fair to describe Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ as general-purpose streaming sites & AppleTV+ as a specialty streaming service? - Beryllium Oct 20, 18:47 6
- I'd say Netflix and Hulu have the best/largest catalogs. Prime is weak, imo. The others are more specialty. -- nm - Krusty Oct 21, 06:10

  - I am talking AppleTV Plus, not Apple TV. It's a shadow of Disney Plus. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 19:14 1
    - And maybe my perspective of Disney+ is coloured by their extra content in Canada. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 19:15
