#Spam in my inbox is bad enough, but *wrong* spam boils my blood.

The Auteurs launched in the UK in 2007, then rebranded as #MUBI in 2010.

Of course, #TheMonthly may’ve meant MUBI became available in Australia in 2025, in which case it’s poor writing *and* false: Scribd was bundling complimentary MUBI memberships long before then, available to anyone worldwide with a credit card number.
