justwatch.com and the JustWatch app made it a lot easier for me. You just select the streaming apps you have access to and then you can search them all at once. You can also see what’s new on all your streaming services every day, and just have one watchlist for all of them.

    JustWatch is free, so I guess it just depends on which streaming services you want to pay for. FWIW JustWatch works with free services like Tubi and Kanopy, not just paid services

    they still spy on you and show ads. the artists still don't get paid.

    I tell you, I make a point of going out to dtla once a week and tipping 30% on coffee and lunch; I might be the only person here who supports the people who make movies.

    storing things local is greener too.

    there's literally no reason to use streaming services that doesn't make you a bad person.

    You want JustWatch to pay the artists for…aggregating lists? They don’t actually offer any content to stream.

    do they tell me where to get torrents? because I can already do that.

    you're talking about a service that tells me where to find unlubricated sphallic objects with spikes or spines to shove up my ass, and I'm waving a bottle of lube and bucket of sex toys for every orifice at you. and explaining that its cheaper. I'm sure your thing is great for finding spiky phallic objects.

    I got sued for torrenting and it cost me thousands of dollars to settle. I’m done with that game.

    never happened to anyone I know. I did once get locked in a cage for a candy bar I bought.

    sometimes the system just needs to punish people. it punishes to create fear. are you owned, or are you your own?
