its free, it has ads but like so do some of the paid tiers of the other services, at least the whole experience is free. They dont have a huge selection but lots of interesting things there. its got all the old doctor who episodes on there
free streaming service owned by FOX (not the disney one, the one that was formed out of the assets that disney didnt buy) that has a bunch of stuff on there, a lot of obscure stuff but also cool stuff like classic doctor who and farscape and old shows like everybody hates chris. idk i just like that its free and at times more convenient than pirating because i already always use a vpn
in May it was the most watched streaming service in the US, beating even Disney plus.
I cannot describe how good it was when I first launched Stremio and discovered you could find virtually anything, from the extremely recent, still in cinemas, to old historical stuff. I just watched Furiosa, then rolled that into Fury Road, then went back and watched the original Mad Max franchise, all from the same interface. It was almost as easy as it would have been on a regular streaming service, and I never had any question in my mind that it would all be available.
The fact that Tubi exists basically applies clown makeup to all the other streaming services. Like, Tubi shows me ads as or less frequently as the payed services and I don’t need to make an account to use it. That’s a huge plus for me personally as I’m tired of account bloat.
It doesn’t have every show or movie ever but no streaming services does. Its original shows are totally uninteresting to me, but that’s also true of 95% of new original shows on other streaming services. I ain’t about to shell out 8 dollars a month and sit through 10 minutes of ads every hour just to watch a couple of prestige shows.
And there are plenty of options for watching everything, for free, without ads, assuming you’re willing to jump through a couple hoops.
If you're gonna have garbage to stream, might as well put on whatever random garbage at random time automatically so I don't waste time trying to decide on stuff I ultimately don't care about.
Plus you get some live news, though mostly rightwing crap depending on where you live and also you can stream some stuff on demand
Edit: having top gear, some comedy central stuff, southpark and csi channels for reruns is neat and they don't seem to care if you use VPN to watch US/UK/Canadian content (not sure where else it's available)
That's exactly what it is, I've grown tired of streaming services, heaps of complete irrelevant content suggestions, so Pluto+torrents are much more convenient for random TV or stuff I actually want to watch and don't have to figure out which streaming service has it.
I dropped Crunchyroll after they told me to turn off my ad blocker after I been paying for months, it was around the same time they got caught pushing views with bad translations. They lived long enough to be the villain.
don't understand the this free with no required login option is better comments. tubi, plex, pluto, roku, crackle, cw, whatever. heck even youtube sill allows no login access.
See, this is kind of my opinion about streaming services, I ain’t gonna pay them anything unless they’re picking up independent projects I want supported.
I’m certainly not going to pay them for designed by corporate committee drivel that makes up 95% of original streaming content.
