That's surprisingly close, but the numbers will have some skew: - Amazon Prime Video comes free with Prime - Apple TV+ gives out three free months on every new device you add to your Apple account - Disney and Hulu and often bundled together Also the source is: "Justwatch.com - Measured interest in SVOD services in the United States from 01/01 - 06/30/24 on Justwatch.com" Which is not subscriber numbers, watch numbers, or income.

I agree that Amazon is basically “cheating”, as we don’t know how many people are actually willing to sign up just for the video stuff. So while they do have that many possible viewers, it’s not exactly a fair comparison. If we ignore them, most things are sort of what I thought. Netflix is far away number one, and Is expect Hulu is roughly number two. It’s not but it’s close. And tied with Disney? I think that makes sense, and given that they’re sort of merging and usually bundled I can totally understand that. The fact that Max is the REAL number two is a surprise to me. I would not have placed them above Hulu. It’s not by huge margin, but it’s enough to be real. I’m honestly surprised to see that Paramount is as high as it is and that Apple TV is so close to Hulu, Disney, Paramount, and HBO. While I really love Apple‘s service I thought it would’ve been quite a bit lower. But WOW. Poor Peacock. I didn’t think it was doing well by any stretch but I wouldn’t have guessed it was so incredibly low. 1/8I didn’t think it was doing well by any stretch but I wouldn’t have guessed it was so incredibly low. 1/8 of what Apple has? I suppose I would’ve lumped “others” higher as well, as I’ve heard that the free services that use ads are incredibly popular. I agree this isn’t a perfect source of data but it’s still kind of interesting.
