The "what's trending" paradigm so prevalent in social media and entertainment services does not appeal to me at all, although I realize that it does for the younger people. I've been using computer technology since before most of Apple's current crop of fans were even a gleam in their daddy's eye! I could not care less about what is trending, but unfortunately the younger generations do, and since they are the major target group, they get what they want. At any rate, I don't see much innovation in TV+. It is mostly just the  logo attached to a tired old paradigm but that logo often causes fans to go wild with joy and spend money. That makes Apple happy, but not me.
