Amazon Prime Video Has More Movies, But Netflix Has Higher-Rated Films, Study Says (usatoday.com)

When you want to watch a movie, which streaming service truly delivers? If you want quality, opt for Netflix. If you prefer quantity, peruse Amazon Prime Video. From a report: That's the conclusion from Streaming Observer. The tech news website looked at all of the movies on Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and HBO Now as of January 20 and analyzed the films' ratings on movie and TV review site Rotten Tomatoes. Also factored in: data from the streaming providers, as well as third-party search sites Reelgood and JustWatch. The site found Amazon had the most movies (17,461) -- four times that of Netflix (3,839) and many more times the amount on Hulu (2,336) and HBO (815). But Netflix had more movies -- 596, more than 15 percent of its library -- with a "Certified Fresh" rating from Rotten Tomatoes, a designation given to the best-reviewed films.

    Ahhh no, idiot. That is the ranking of "best movies". That is why the list is under "BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME" on their website.

    The reason I was modded down was for other reasons.

    My opinion of a film doesn't matter, but when you give a list and say it is "THE BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME" (actual words) and put Black Panther as #1, then you have a credibility problem. The entire website is gamed.
