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

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 prefer Pluto over Tubi

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 extra work to filter out background right wing propaganda as a way to relax? Am I understanding the proposal?

at this point it sounds like television with extra steps

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.

Pluto is like TV used to be. You turn on the TV and it’s on the channel you last watched. There is no step 2.

If you want to scroll through endless categories looking for something specific to watch like a streaming service, it has that too.

But I frequently turn on the DS9 channel and leave it on all day despite having all the episodes on my Plex.

Plex has been enshittifying hard the last few years. I recommend trying out jellyfin if you haven’t in awhile.

I’m sure it has, but my friends host their mediaservers there so I’ll be wherever they are.

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.

Plex is too much work. Stremio with a RD account and you’re done.
