looks at my pile of pirating websites uh… one of those
The high seas.
YouTube
Nebula
Spotify
First choice would be YouTube because I already use it more than anything else, it has music, and I like falling asleep to video essays.
For movies I would pick Tubi because it has a decent selection and is completely defenseless against uBlock Origin.
Plex has everything I want to watch!
Jellyfin, realistically. Of paid platforms, Shudder.
I’m gonna go Disney. They’ve got loads of great sitcoms, a few documentaries and some good serials. So much of netflix is just pure white nowadays.
first I’d have to find one that’s worth a damn.
Jellyfin, I guess. I currently use plex for music and video (eary lifetime pass), but 10 more years of enshitification is too much time for any for-profit endeavor. Profit motive ruins everything it touches. For anything long-term open source options with a community are important. I have seen too many potentially great projects fail because the lone author had kids or fell ill or just got bored.
The only one that couldn’t be substituted with piracy is using F1TV with the Multiviewer app, so it would be that.
Dropout.tv and pirate everything else
seconded on Dropout. No other streaming service can even dream of matching their quality and humor.

It’s a tough call between either MeansTV or OTV, but I’ll go with Means. They’re a co-op, as opposed to OTV being a non-profit, and i think that’s probably less corruptible/more stable.
