I actually purchased a subscription to a streaming platform today...
I've canceled all of my streaming and use the following apps to watch series/movies:
- Kanopy (free, no ads, uses library card)
- Hoopla (free, no ads, uses library card)
- Locally hosted Jellyfin (runs off my laptop connected to wifi - I need to move it to an RPi...) loaded with shows downloaded from Internet Archive (no piracy here, I swear)
(note: I'm considering buying bluerays and ripping them to load into Jellyfin - that might be interesting)

I realized I was still watching Youtube. And their ads / algorithm is killing me. A friend had purchased Youtube Premium and I was not impressed.
I further realized all of my favorite content creators have channels on Nebula. No ads, no meaningful algorithm. Just subscribe to the channels you like and watch them there. $6 a month. And the money goes to the creators. The streaming service is creator-owned.
So I get my youtube fix... without youtube.
