Yeah, HBO has moved decidedly down market.

Apple is at least trying to fill their old niche. It seems quite telling that the only company truing to do the whole “prestige TV” thing is a kind of side-project for a hardware company. At least nobody can buy them, though.

Apple has a family friendly bent that HBO had been degraded by sadly. Disnified. Adult oriented HBO quality shows don't exist anymore do they?

> Apple

do we really want big tech to also control our media?

  • > want

    I described what is happening, not what I want to have happen.

    Anyway it is entertainment media, not news media, so less of a big deal. But yeah it would be nice if somebody else tried.
