If you’ve watched anything on Netflix and Apple Tv recently I’m sure you’ve noticed the insane quality difference. 90% of what Netflix is producing feels like “film for tv” in the 90s at best.

Roma? The Irishman? The Two Popes? Marriage Story? Mank? Beasts of No Nation? Power of the Dog? Tick Tick Boom?

Can't really take a comment seriously that puts Apple's film output over this. Besides Coda has Apple produced or even just distributed anything of comparable quality?

Netflix had The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, a freaking Coen Brothers movie! Also a Spike Lee film with Da 5 Bloods.
Apple does have a film with a single Coen directing fwiw. It was even up for some awards last night.
Totally forgot about those two. And yes, both fantastic.
Netflix's biggest problem is their extremely poor AI. They might have some excellent shows and series but if its hard to find no one ever sees it.

Instead they end up getting rated on drivel like "The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window" because that's what ends up getting pushed to subscribers to see.

That's the 10%
This. I just said 90 PERCENT. The Netflix output is gigantic, so all that AMAZING 10% drowns into a 90% that shapes the platform with cheap flix with very low production value.
I watched The Foundation series from Apple and it was lame. Ultimately disappointing.
