Paid for subscription to access VIP but app is now allowing me to continue with VIP.

I renewed my subscription via Apple for the Youku app, which should allow me to watch VIP content. I've tried multiple times to watch the VIP content with no success. What can I do or what may be the issue?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Peacock Subscription not working I previously had a peacock subscription account from xfinity but they ended subscription access for xfinity users recently. I purchased a subscription on my phone so it made the purchase through Apple. The peacock app under my old login will not let me access subscription only material. When I clicked on the option to purchase, it says I have a subscription and tells me to manage it through Apple. The loop continues and I cannot access any content I want to watch. This is beyond frustrating.

Why Can I Not Binge Watch A New Show On Apple TV+?!? If I Pay for Apple TV+ why can I not Binge Watch a new show like H/JACK?!? This is a Subscription Service, specifically SVOD, & I Should be able to Decide what I want to watch, when & how Frequently based off my own time, not off of Apple TV+'s! Waiting to watch a new episode of a show that exclusively streams has been proven by Nielsen to lose audience & have lower ratings. Apple TV+ is NOT Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, etc. This is a streaming service like Netflix where the content is exclusively available via SVOD not like Broadcast Networks (e.g.. ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC), who can't & won't air a season of episodes online prior to airing each episode individually on their networks. They cannot first Stream & then Broadcast their shows because then their Affiliates will lose the financial earnings of Advertisements, which would cause them to go bankrupt & you'd lose ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, etc.. which is available to you for free via your service provider's most basic package or OTA. Apple TV+ should allow one to watch any show at any time, not off a weekly basis, unless it's like Live Sports which cannot be available before the Live event occurs. Again, If I Pay for Apple TV+ why can I not Binge Watch a new show like H/JACK?!?

Showtime subscription through Apple TV+ bundle not working I subscribe to Showtime and Paramount+ through the Apple TV+ bundle. Normally I watch Showtime shows through the Apple TV app, but I haven't in a while. Today I was unable to access any Showtime content through the Apple TV+ app (the button under Watch Now for Showtime). I don't have a separate Showtime sign in, so I can't access it through the regular Showtime app. I checked in my Apple TV+ Account and it says my Paramount+ and Showtime subscriptions are active. I've even looked on Paramount+, and they tell me to access Showtime through Apple TV+. I've tried everything I can think of for the past 2 hrs, but I can't figure out how to access my paid Showtime subscription. What can I do to watch Showtime?
