#pluto tv

I don't know how long this will last but I'm hoping it will go for a good long while. And as I mentioned in a previous post, all seasons of TOS, TNG, DS9, Voy, and Ent are still available to stream on demand.

Or Tubi, which has a metric shit ton of stuff free with ads, and you don't even have to make an account or download the app. Same with Pluto, although Pluto is pretty slow.

Even YouTube has a lot of free stuff, and I don't just mean the official YouTube movie channel. I mean, there's a bunch of channels that upload movies you can watch without having to click a link to some shady website. YouTube also has a lot of audio book uploads too.

PreserveTube 💝✒️🌐

A separate website where you can view archives of YouTube channels and videos. Keep in mind the process of archiving videos does provide YouTube with traffic, similar to a downloader. However, once a video is archived, it is stored completely separately from YouTube and no longer gives them any traffic. It's not a full, true alternative, but it's pretty good.

Twitch 💝🌐🍎🤖🍏🪟

A livestreaming platform often used by YouTubers in conjunction with their YouTube channel. You can opt to pay for a subscription to a creator you love if you want to support them, but following is free.

PeerTube 💝✒️🌐

A decentralized video-sharing project that allows individuals to host their own instances, which can operate independently, while still being able to view videos across other instances.

Vimeo 💝🌐🍎🤖🍏🪟

A video-sharing platform. A great recommendation for workspaces or to share work related videos, or for schools to share educational content. With a free account, you can upload 500 MB worth of video per week, and 5 GB maximum.

Glomble 💝✒️🌐

A video-sharing platform with an old-internet feel.

BitView 💝✒️🌐

Similar to Glomble, old-internet feeling video-sharing website.

VidLii 💝✒️🌐

Another old-internet-style video-sharing website. Be careful, some users have reported encountering upsetting or disturbing content while browsing, but I haven't encountered any issues yet. I've found a lot of my favorite songs on VidLii, some seemingly by official (if old and abandoned) accounts!

BitChute 💝✒️🌐🍎🤖

Alternative streaming website, easier to navigate than BitView or Glomble.

Vanillo 💝✒️🌐

Still in beta, Vanillo is a video-sharing platform that navigates similarly to YouTube. It is very easy to navigate.

Bilibili 💝🌐🍎🤖🍏🪟

Chinese video sharing website. Good for anything where you don't necessarily need things in your native tongue (ex, yoga or music), or if you speak a Chinese language.

Niconico 💝🌐🍎🤖

Japanese video sharing website. Good for anything where you don't necessarily need things in your native tongue (ex, yoga or music), or if you speak Japanese.

Tubi TV 💝🌐🍎🤖

Free streaming website with a variety of movies and TV shows.

PlutoTV 💝✒️🌐🍎🤖

Free streaming website with a variety of movies and TV shows.

PlexTV 💝✒️🌐🍎🤖

Streaming website with a variety of movies and TV shows, some free, some paid.

Dropout ✒️🌐🍎🤖

Streaming service created by Dropout (formerly College Humor). Currently, you can get 20% off your first year, bringing the price down to $56 for a year's subscription. Dropout series are primarily comedy (Game Changer, Make Some Noise, etc).

Nebula ✒️🌐🍎🤖

Streaming service created by many YouTubers in response to YouTube censorship. Great place for video essays, but there is a lot of stuff on the platform. Right now, a one-year subscription to Nebula is only $60! Additionally, you can browse Nebula to see if your favorite creator is on the platform without even signing up!

Notes:

Side note: As I'm currently typing this, while switching back to cable after I was on Pluto TV, I briefly watched the match between New Zealand vs Belgium in the Fifa World Cup this year, and currently losing.

Update: NZ lost to Belgium 1 - 5

1. I've more than said my peace with this episode, however it goes without saying, it's well remembered and acted & impactful within this show and fandom for good reason. I actually had to look away from my phone camera while recording bc I couldn't find it within me seeing Kendall's brokenhearted expressions. Like @btr-rewatch mentioned in her recap, seeing a good & solid guy like Kendall (who's like the fixer of everything and everyone in his life) going through something traumatic like this makes this episode so hard to watch. And I do credit Kendall & Katelyn's acting here specifically in this episode. They brought the emotions all on display here.

2. Mr. Nostalgia just recently did a video discussing this very episode couple weeks ago, and he brought out some great points. There's a lot of couples and romance plots in Disney/Nickelodeon shows that feel stale or cheap, but for BTR as a whole (as cartoony any wild things get), the writers surprisingly lock in when it comes to dramatic/romantic storylines. He also compared this episode to the Jonas LA finale with a similar plot of Stella leaving back to NJ after learning Joe got a movie deal in...you guessed it, New Zealand. On which, I'm glad he's mentioned that bc you would think with a kid sitcom with the big moving plot would have the love interest do a uno reverse card and stay at the last minute. No, Jo actually leaves (for the time being) and again, I respect and appreciate the maturity.

3. I really love the line Jo saying to Kendall, "Maybe you only come once in a lifetime". It broke my heart and my brain hearing that in the episode promo, and I'm sure it did for Kendall as well. Who would respond if someone saying that to you?

4. Kendall really has W friends for supporting him at his lowest moment. The last few moments of them at the airport after seeing Jo off really moved me and really showed their friendship, and with no needed dialogue either. Also, notice how Carlos had his helmet off for the whole scene, in respect to what Kendall is going through. Love that detail.

I buy a lotto ticket every now and then, so I'm not opposed to gambling, but every commercial break (which has 4-5 short ads) almost every ad is for a sports betting app. Prizepicks, Underdog, Fanduel, DraftKings, and even an app to help you manage your bets across different platforms.

So, I recently finished RGU, and I wanted to talk about the ending. Spoilers for episode 39 of RGU under the cut:
