Doesn't Apple do the same thing as Prime video where you can add other subscriptions through their app? Seems like this is a mistake on Apple's part while testing this feature for Netflix.
Apple provides a system for apps to expose their shows to the TV app; effectively every app other than Netflix uses that system but Netflix intentionally removed themselves from it.
Which effectively removed Netflix from my viewing habits because I use the TV app to manage all of my other apps/subscriptions, and because Netflix doesn’t show up I never consume their content. I still think it was a really stupid move on the part of Netflix.
They pulled that same shit on Android as well. But I think they are integrated back in on the current generation of it.
I’m not surprised. The argument at the time was that they needed users to be inside their own app and anything less was unacceptable.
Gotta gobble up dem user metrics, I guess.
