this seems like an odd direction for Apple to be going in, when Apple is a device and OS specific company.
Why would a creator want to invest in the effort to publish subscriber-exclusive content, to their audience that is only on one type of device, when cross-compatible platforms are available?
They're trying to compete with YouTube Premium and Patreon exclusives?
YouTube already works on AppleTV so...not sure how they expect this to work. Feel like I'm missing something.
