@daringfireball one thing I’d add here about Apple customers’ predicted “stickiness” / low churn. I also assume Apple customers are more savvy, not just in a technical sense but more broadly. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a substantially higher fraction of AppleTV customers who subscribe to the service for a couple of months, binge the shows they want to watch, then cancel for a year until their shows are available again.
@daringfireball This probably feeds into the long on-ramp to profitability, which presumably includes the time it takes to build up a deep enough library that you can’t binge all the good stuff from the past year over a month or two.
