The consumption of content in the form of movies, series or documentaries through OTT platforms is becoming more widespread in our country. Such is the offer that many users either share accounts, or try to analyze what each of them offers in order to opt for the one that best suits their tastes. Netflix or Amazon Prime? Difficult answer. Each one has its virtues and defects and in many cases it will depend a lot on the type of content we are looking for. If we are unconditional fans of Disney, Disney + will undoubtedly be a good option. On the other hand, being an Amazon Prime subscriber has many other advantages, in addition to accessing the Prime Video catalog. Debates aside about which is the best of all, at the end of 2022 a new rival will arrive in this market and it is called SkyShowtime.
