trackcharlie,

Just a firm reminder that pirates get better service than the people that pay all these garbage subscriptions

Thankfully I could use my Plex “streaming service” to have all the Pokémon seasons in one place

Rai,

I love the subtle plex mention in the video too

CapitanStrider,

Thank god for torrents

Rentlar,

The only place you can watch all of the above without restriction…

Cqrd,

Usenet is generally a better experience in my opinion, but of course it’s one that costs

devfuuu,

I would laugh if it wasn’t so bad that it makes you wanna cry. At least I’m lucky since this is the american perspective where all those services exist. Here in europe opening 90% of those streaming services webpages just says that the service is not available in my region. Some of them with new branding or different branding are not even available like max which is still hbo max here which changed recently enough.

I only know a few of the services names because I spent a few hours today before on wiki pages searching for legal tv apps and came across all the insanity. I only knew common names like hulu and roku which are things that don’t work here anyway. Ended up installing pluto tv again to experiment but then had to fight turning on vpn properly to counties where it actually is available. And all the countries have different channels and contents anyway.

It’s all insanity and horrible and sailing the high seas is honestly the only true no pain experience.

Stopped using netflix when they went after the accounts sharing. Only have hbo max and prime apps installed because my ISP bundled the subscriptions. But I never open them to watch anything anyway. Totally useless services.

Rentlar,

Yep it’s hilarious that because all the streaming services trying to wall off their own content and region-lock it means that the illegal way is the only reasonable means to access the shows even if you would be willing to spend some money to see it.

Each one comes with predatory practices trying to lock you into long term costs, some have “ad-supported” plans, most have stupid space-wasting apps, and every single one has some onerous EULA they make you agree to.

I remember how happy I was when I got rid of cable, where I had to pay for fox news and sportsball and ahost of other channels I never watched … which is now a very similar situation with every stupid streaming service.

gsf,

Dunkey made this beautiful

Holy shit. I just open up Plex and it’s all there, and if it’s not I just add it with a few clicks. I had no idea this was really how thing are these days

MeatsOfRage,

And if you have Plex integrated with Overseerr, all you do is add something to your Plex watchlist, wait a little bit, then it’s movie time

Ahoy! The seas are calm, and the wind is ever at your back.

Away! The days are long, but the nights are sweet upon the wooden deck.

Whats that part with the Titanic movie split across streaming sites? Maybe I got this wrong.

BruceTwarzen,

Now add different countries and vpn into the mix.

Ashyr,

I genuinely don’t know what’s real and what isn’t.

I honestly thought the Pokemon part was fake. It is not.

Rentlar,

The dunkey bit writes itself…

The Pokemon part fucking killed me. No need to write your own jokes when reality writes them for you.

Nima,
@Nima@lemmy.world avatar

holy shit that’s absolutely insane. easier to use an ad riddled pirate site instead. at least it will have a full catalog most times, and you can just block ads.
