      I like free two-day shipping from Amazon. I like the smooth integration of Prime movies and Prime Channels--all ad free. I like the X-ray feature. I like the MGM+ original series, "Billy the Kid." I really liked the Prime original movie, "Air." Of course, it's a challenge for Prime Video to ween viewers off Netflix.

    AMC+ includes Shudder, but doesn't have the full library. Most of the times, it's missing the Shudder exclusives for a week or so. With that being said, you're absolutely right with the ranking.

    Peacock gets some of the newly released movies from theaters and even sometimes has movies still in theaters like five nights at Freddys. Also has Sunday night football so I give it a B.

      I have to admit, I was wrong about Peacock.

      I think it's super underrated and, as you said, actually has a pretty extensive library.

    @ben99ny69 Рік тому +3

    Not sure if this is the same for everyone but Max has been really bad with content lately. My "just added' list hasn't changed for a couple weeks at least and there isn't anything i'm looking forward to watch on Max besides maybe barbie. What content are they gonna add?
    While netflix had this livestream recently where they showed their upcoming shows which were just animation, not even including all of the live action content they have coming up which i'm looking forward to.
    Then there's disney. If you don't like marvel, star wars, pixar or disney then there's no reason to get this service. Their marvel content has been mediocre to bad and the star wars fans don't see to be happy. People have lost interest in Pixar has their films in the past few years have all bombed in the box office.
    Not to mention disney just increased their price.

    Price isn’t a big deal to me if they have good content. Netflix used to be good now I have a hard time finding something decent to watch.I got peacock for 1.99 with ads of course I only watch 1 show on there but good price unfortunately I’m paying higher price for paramount because I had it a lot time before showtime. I’m paying more for Netflix too because they kept the price going up and I’ve had it forever thanks for this I’m going to look into not paying an arm and leg for some of these

    You admit that you don't watch Prime Video, have no Prime Video channels, nor take advantage of Prime shipping. Yet you rank it. Most people wiil pay for ad-supported TV to see sports. Yet you don't emphasize sports. If you actually did try different services with sports, you'd know that combining Sling with an antenna is the best deal around. I'm not angry. I just think you aren't qualified to do this ranking.
