I’ve been running a Plex server for a few years now. At the beginning of this year, I finally cancelled all my streaming services (including Disney+ and Hulu) and use Plex almost exclusively. It’s always sad to see a boycott going on that I can’t participate in because I’ve already quit the service.
I do still pay for Curiosity Stream, but that’s basically like Netflix exclusively for documentaries. And super cheap compared to other streaming services. (Most expensive service is just under $6/mo if you pay annually) Gotta support the educational services!
I saw someone link to the PBS Passport here yesterday. I need to look into that too. PBS needs donations to stay alive, especially with our current administration trying to gut it.
I paid for Nebula’s Lifetime account, back when it was much cheaper. If I can avoid subscriptions, I will. Because subscriptions always end up more expensive than a one-time purchase.
EDIT: I follow Legal Eagle on Nebula too. I used to follow Charles Cornell as well, but he’s stopped releasing content on Nebula and has switched back to YouTube exclusively. I have a few others I follow on Nebula, but they haven’t been posting much content lately. I’ll have to check out City Beautiful.
Nice! I haven’t heard of that one. I’m familiar with Shudder, which a streaming service exclusively for horror films and TV shows. Perfect for this upcoming season; my wife and I are already binging horror movies
I’m a huge fan of horror, so I’ve been toying with getting a subscription to Shudder for a while now, but every horror movie and show I want to watch eventually ends up on my Plex server anyway.

I pay for Nebula.tv for a similar reason. Mostly for Legal Eagle and City Beautiful.

There’s not a ton of content on PBS passport. I just keep the subscription running and check it every six months or so for new content.
I haven’t heard of Curiosity Stream, but sounds like something I’d actually watch. Thanks for dropping that name
I’ll shout out NASA+, there isn’t a lot on there but it’s free.
If you’re into small streaming services, also look at Dropout for your comedy needs.

Damn, Sherlock is on PBS Passport? Crazy, great show
