I never used any, what makes “tubi” special?
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”
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
Oh shit they got Dellamorte Dellamore? Time for a rewatch I guess
yes, i watched that the other day on tubi. Tubi pulls through
It’s available in Australia and (pretty sure) New Zealand as well :)
poggers
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
Wait WHAT a service that has classic who?
Unfortunately, we’re not currently available in your area.
Aw sad.
Edit: Oop you already mentioned that in the other comment.
Yeah. I just use a vpn to watch stuff there
Britbox has them for the US last I checked
That’s good to know! Tubi is in the US also. In my country (Germany) nobody streams Classic Who according to my sources. Personally I have the DVDs at home but it would be nice as an option.

What the hell is tubi?
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.
When I’m looking for some obscure horror movie and can’t find it, tubi usually pulls through. I enjoy it as well!
Their giallo selection is surprisingly robust
I watched Babylon 5 on Tubi last year
Also no ads using ublock. Minimal when not using one, and they let you know when they’re coming.
Sounds like they are in the phase of trying to get their share of the market before enshittification ensues, watch it while it’s hot!
I would say “don’t say it or it will come true”, but I don’t believe in the saying, and we all know that’s probably their plans already(what you said in your reply).
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 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.
Nice try tubi marketing team
Early 2023 they pushed so many ads at me.
haha, i wish
What the fuck is a Tubi?
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.
Search for “stremio torrentio real debrid” to get some tutorials
This but Jellyfin
Dropout subscription be like
Happy to pay for Dropout and Nebula. Everything else can, kindly, fuck off~
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
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.
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.
That’s extra work to filter out background right wing propaganda as a way to relax? Am I understanding the proposal?
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.
Prime stays for hazbin season 1 and 2
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.
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.
