Netflix could follow Apple TV+ in producing live streaming video

Beats

Apple TV has been a disappointment as far as innovation goes. I thought it would be crazy innovative. I thought Apple would somehow connect the service with iPhone/iPad/Apple TV/Watch/Mac. Instead we get something similar to Netflix where you just press play. Something that any service could do from YouTube to iTunes movies.

When they first announced The Morning Show I thought it was an actual live show with news and interviews like Good Morning America, which I think would have caught way more attention. Now throw in user interaction. How about local whether with user photos and videos selected? How about a fitness segment where users can participate in to track their progress against other users across the world?

I think live content is the next “thing”. Not sports but raw uncut, unfiltered niche shows. You guys should check out Fresh & Fit on YouTube. It’s one of the fastest growing “Podcasts” ever and the highest grossing almost every month through user donations. It’s also an absolute riot to watch live with crazy guests and unfiltered content. Had this show been an Apple TV exclusive, it would have broke records for Apple. Unfortunately it is the polar opposite to “politically correct” which I know is on the way out and will stunt Apple TV+. Growth.

I watched a minute of Fresh & Fit, the video that they chose to showcase the channel on their profile.  Absolutely hideous.  A horrible man saying horrible things while women stare at him in horror.  And less than a million views.  Apple has no need of low volume trash TV.

I mentioned this.

We’re sick of PC garbage. Fresh and Fit is the fastest growing podcast for a reason. Though “podcast” isn’t the word I would call it. With ZERO funding from media and tech. They also have shows on how to make money which the PC people ignore.

Look at Netflix, Dave Chapelle brought in a ton of viewers with his real unfiltered, unscripted comedy. even the article states that Netflix is considering a live version of the Netflix is a Joke show! When Netflix brought feel-good, fake, scripted PC-BULLSH**, millions of users unsubscribed in protest. (Look it up).

You have Oprah who’s possibly the most famous woman in the world with her PC feel-good delusion on Apple TV, funded by the richest company in the world and Fresh & Fit, two nobodies, who’s tarted the show from
nothing now taking over YouTube. Apple TV doesn’t need them but how many people have watched that Apple-backed Oprah crap on Apple TV? No one. And she was the lead rep at the Apple TV launch! This isn’t 1993 anymore. 

You’re comparing the world’s most powerful people with literally BILLIONS of dollars to 2 men who started a show in their apartment (like a garage…). And the guys in the garage are winning viewers!!

I’m not saying Apple has to drop fairy tale stories but actual reality is what people are slowly gravitating to. Almost every app is adding a live section from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram to Tik Tok. Originally these apps didn’t care about live.

You can go watch Oprah with the 10 other people and I’ll watch real live content with user interaction.

I think more real content like following an average joe’s weight loss journey with user interaction via Watch, FaceTime and Fitness+ would be innovative. Or how about a nerd’s struggle with dating showcased live? Throw in more user interaction. This is what the people want NOW. People are sick of cheesy linear stories that would never happen and I wouldn’t count sports as an “innovation” of live events. How about concert tickets on Apple Music or a live 24 hour news station on Apple News where both the left and right share the same station with user polls that you can participate in live or participate in FaceTime video questions and debate?

Apple has it all in the palm of their hands but they’re innovating super slowly.

If you're going to be sarcastic add "/s" at the end of the message so everyone knows.

Says you, but less than 1 million views on their showcased video isn't even small beans, it's tiny beans.  Apple don't care about your barrel-scraping small volume ideas.
