Comment on If Open Source is so great...

Sometimes the open source equivalent is better. SmartTube is a much better app than the official YouTube app for Google TV / Android TV even though there’s just one developer working on it.

Similarly, pirate TV/movie apps often have a much better user experience than the legit ones. Compare Weyd, Syncler, or Stremio+Torrentio to the Amazon Prime video app for example.

In both cases, the people who work on them usually care about the user experience and use the app day-to-day themselves, rather than being told to do whatever makes the most money for the company.
