no one stays. torrent everything.
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 only Real answer.
I had a friend who'd pay 1k in total for all the online avoidable subscriptions, reason it's "had" not have is sometimes stupid reaches an intolerable point of no return
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.
How can installing software and downloading compatible file types be seen as jumping through hoops?
It’s not hard, it just takes time and attention to set up properly. And a lot of people are scared of messing it up.
This but plex
Plex has been enshittifying hard the last few years. I recommend trying out jellyfin if you haven't in awhile.
Is love to switch to Jellyfin, but Plex has apps on all the devices I want and Jellyfin doesn't.
Which devices doesn't jellyfin have apps for? Seems like a pretty well developed ecosystem to me.
My TV is the main one. It has a native Plex app that works well, saving me from having to purchase some additional device. There's no Jellyfin app for it.
I mainly use my Xbox to stream from Plex. Has the jellyfin app gotten better for Xbox? I really want to switch to jellyfin but the Xbox app is/was ass.
I'm sure it has, but my friends host their mediaservers there so I'll be wherever they are.
Plex is too much work. Stremio with a RD account and you're done.
What is rd? I want to get into stremio but I have no idea where to begin.

Nice try tubi marketing team
haha, i wish
Early 2023 they pushed so many ads at me.
For me it's Crunchyroll
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.
Ahh, shit. I haven't encountered that yet. I enjoy it while it lasts then 🫡
It was years ago, shortly after they started operating legitimately. I think the drama was they washed out yuri implications from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid and found other translations have been unfaithful enough to change plot elements.
Oh no. Is this a Pokémon donuts (onigiri) situation.
Pretty much.
Maybe it's because I am using U-Block Origins or because I am living in the EU but I just tried it and it didn't ask me to switch off anything :p
It was years ago, I just happen to hold a grudge like that for life.
Ahhh, it took me a while to understand basic English, my bad :')
I have the same relationship with paramount+
... Only because I have a free trial for a few more months, then it's out the door with the rest
I have this relationship with HBO Max, but that's because I still get it free with my AT&T Fiber.
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.
