John Finn is the Founder and Editor of Streaming Better, where he helps consumers make smarter decisions about streaming. Since launching the site in 2019, John has focused on breaking down live TV streaming, SVOD, AVOD, FAST, and TVOD services.
John has been covering technology since 2014, writing and editing for multiple online publications before shifting his attention to the streaming industry. His work includes hands‑on testing, industry research, and a consumer‑first perspective designed to highlight what actually matters.
Originally from England and now based in the United States, John holds a degree in Psychology. Before entering the streaming world, he worked as an airline reviewer — an experience that helped shape the detail‑oriented evaluation style he now applies to devices, services, and industry trends.
John subscribes to multiple streaming services to stay current with the market, but he continues to advocate for the cost‑effective strategy of rotating services based on what you want to watch, rather than paying for everything at once.
