John Finn
John Finn is the Founder and Editor of Streaming Better, a platform created in 2019 to help consumers navigate the complicated live TV streaming and subscription service market. John has been covering technology for various online publications since 2014.
After originally covering the wider tech industry as a writer and editor, John now spends his time focusing on the emerging video-streaming market, including live TV streaming, SVOD, AVOD, FAST, and TVOD services.
A Psychology graduate from England, who now lives in the US, John previously worked in the aviation industry as an airline reviewer. While reviewing airlines isn’t quite the same as reviewing devices and streaming services, John brings the same analytical eye to all of his reviews and industry analysis, along with a special emphasis on what’s best for the consumer.
Even though John subscribes to multiple streaming services in an attempt to keep up to date with the industry, John continues to advocate that the best approach for consumers is to rotate between streaming services as needed.
