The last thing I paid for as a subscription service was Curiosity Stream a year ago. I’ve stopped watching movies and documentaries since and I don’t miss it.
It was ok. It didn’t offer as much content as I thought, it had a lot more in-house content that felt low budget, and I found it hard to find a topic that was truly enticing despite the variety. The service is fine and it was great as background noise while working, but it wasn’t enough for me. I would still recommend it.
That’s fair. There are not as many documentaries as I expected too. Many of the documentaries there are actually old and re-broadcasted from other TV channels around the world years ago. In a way, there is a sense of exoticness to them because otherwise they would have been forgotten by the passage of time and restricted by geographic distribution.
I basically canceled almost all my subscriptions and pirate stuff. Except music, since I build a CD collection and buy the rest online which is still cheaper than a streaming service and I can keep the music as long as I want without having to fear that songs will get removed from the service.
For music piracy if you’re needin’ try soulseek. I understand collecting physical items though, I do it with records, comics, and VHS tapes, just figured I’d spread the word just in case.
