Don't forget, Hulu is owned by Disney too. Honestly, I'm done with video streaming at least for a while. I never have time anymore to watch anything so it's just a money suck and physical media is better anyway.

A VPN is cheaper and multi-purpose! :)

[–] BigBenis@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe something's going over my head but my understanding is a VPN can get you around region locks but you still have to pay for the streaming service to access it.

Unless you're talking about using a VPN to pirate, which I've definitely done without a VPN, albeit a long time ago.

Much safer over a VPN. Not foolproof though; be sure to read up on whatever you’re doing for whatever reason you’re doing it.

Bbc iplayer has an insane amount of stuff, not just bbc original productions.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

CBC Gem has a ton of awesome stuff, and is worth it for Schitt's Creek alone. Free with ads too (may not be the case outside Canada though)

There’s one service still putting out quality content but low overall volume, but mentioning their name on Lemmy is a risky bet. Anyway, piracy is free and can be set up for convenience too.

Edit: it's Apple TV+ that has the best selection of originals IMO. Their volume of content is lower than the big boys though, they don't license 3rd party content. And you can expect to see everyone using Apple devices in shows with a modern setting, way too obvious product placement.

I love the stuff on Apple+ especially the sci-fi stuff…. But I’m still going to sail the 🏴‍☠️

Mostly because of this

Yeah, corpos gonna corpo :/

It's somewhat sad because he's gay and hopefully knows very well he could be next on the chopping block after trans people if he speaks out against the dictator. Still kisses the ring.
