Updates

June 8, 2024
: they must be reading the blog. I posted the original note below last night as my last blog of the day. I woke up to this story as the first link in one of my news feeds: the chart of the day, link here.
Wow, that Hulu spread is ... not nice. But I guess that's the norm. 


Original Post
 
Movie night.

We have two OTT streaming platforms: one we pay for -- Hulu; the other is "free" with our Amazon Prime subscription, Amazon Prime Video.

This past week -- in fact, during the last forty-eight hours -- it seems YouTube is absolutely awesome, much better than I remember. Not the "platform," YouTube TV but just plain old YouTube. Somehow I completely missed it but all of a sudden, it seems, YouTube is really, really good. 

So, I was curious. Which are the best OTT streaming platforms now? 

I track "Streaming Wars" here with a pretty exhaustive update here

But now, I was curious -- how do the various platforms rank in 2024?

First a screenshot and then a link.

The screenshot:


Now, the link. The top ten:
  • Netflix
  • Disney+
  • Hulu
  • ESPN+
  • Prime Video
  • HBO Max
  • YouTube TV
  • Starz
  • Sling TV
  • Peacock
Since they are so closely aligned, I always think of Disney+ and Hulu as one and the same, though they are not.
