I don't think the experience is that much different between the different services, honestly. I vaguely have some recollection of Max being a bit bad, but don't remember the details. They are all fine. Except for YouTube, that's just leagues ahead of everything else.

Nah the Disney app is really poor, it crashes / refuses to load way more than the other ones in my experience. On multiple different devices / networks.

  This adds absolutely nothing to the conversation, but the Disney app on LG tvs are rock solid

YouTube is the only thing I've ever interacted with where I can hear the audio of videos that I shouldn't be able to hear. And I've had times where two were playing at once overlapping eachother. It only happens a few times per year for me, but I've never had it happen on another service.

  Small price to pay for videos that load almost instantly. It's certainly faster than my Jellyfin setup despite Jellyfin's massive home field advantage (SSDs and 0ms LAN latency)

I don't feel that's true. For example, Disney is actually pretty terrible compared to Netflix + Prime. Worst part of the service is when it frequently loses where you were in a program. They also made it really hard to get to 'continue watching' for a long time. Another one that has annoying UX issues is BBC iPlayer. If you click on the latest episode of a show that you're watching in 'popular', it won't resume where you were in the episodes, it will play that episode. Very frustrating. While technically correct, that's not what most people want to happen.

I do find most are very similar. The service type is a bit different, but IMO Peacock is the worst. None of the others are as consistently slow for me.
