Netflix is cheap enough with enough content to make it a keeper. There are lots of other options but they are too niche (Curiosity Stream, Gaia) or too expensive (Fubu, YouTube TV). It feels like a weird redux but eventually maybe the big platforms - AppleTV, Roku, Youtube TV will be just like the giant aggregators of the past Cable TV world but you'll be able to pick and chose which channels to pay for (Netflix, Tennis Channel, Disney, HBO, etc.)

Now that it's moving to $15/mo I'm going to be taking a break. We have Amazon Prime and could save $60 by cutting Netflix for several months. Or we could spend $35 getting a channel on Prime and still save $25.

I'm going to pause my Netflix subscription until the next season of Great British Bake-Off is released in the fall. I'm having a hard time finding anything else that's worthwhile on Netflix. "Netflix Original" to me is a signal of low quality.

Apple TV already seems to doing that, there are shows on their platform that point you to get a showtime, HBO or whatever login.

I think you're confusing the Apple TV app (which shows content from any participating video app on the App Store) and the Apple TV+ service (it's a separate tab within the app), which is Apple's own subscription content.

I was not aware of that, thanks.
