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.

This but plex

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

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

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)

at this point it sounds like television with extra steps

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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.

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 never used any, what makes "tubi" special?

[–] [email protected] 87 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Heard someone else describe it as "They buy whatever movies they can get for cheap and as a result it is a goldmine for weird obscure stuff"

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Yes exactly. Theres some good stuff on there if you dig. Watched the movie Cemetery Man on there.

Its only available in the US, Canada and UK but I just use a VPN

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
