I don't like the company in general, so I don't want to support them. You aren't a corporate shill for not sharing that opinion, but I really don't want to support them unless I think it is unreasonable to avoid doing so.

While it is "available" on non-apple devices, I've heard almost exclusively negative things about how it runs on the devices I do most of my watching.

Apple tv content is some of the easiest to illegally access content around. Almost no work and $0 is better than $7.

I don't subscribe to anything I don't already know for certain I'll like anyways, I have trouble trusting reviews and other peoples opinions on media. I'll watch on a friends account or something first, or not at all. Streaming services that don't have a free with ads tier are not something I really approve of, it feels like buying a mystery.

Fair enough! Pirate Ted Lasso if you haven’t yet, it’s amazing!

The browser version on windows doesn't even play in high resolutions (looks almost like DVDs). I'm not sure what resolution it plays in, but I started pirating apple TV stuff again, even though I am subscribed to Apple TV. Probably gonna cancel it at some point.

The version on android TV plays in 4k and looks really good, but I mostly watch on a windows PC...
