Did a few searches, and YouTube does seem to have great access for a lot of titles.
It's not always real economical though. One season of the Handmaid's Tale is only available to buy, not rent. And it's $25. I could pay for 2 months of "no ads" Hulu and get that season and everything else they have, for less.
So fragmentation is still an issue.
- lotsofpulp 5y ago> So fragmentation is still an issue. Maybe Apple is doing the right thing by forcing everything to go through the App Store on iOS.
- tyingq 5y agoNot fragmentation of payment, fragmentation of streaming rights across Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Prime, etc. I don't see the two as particularly related.
- PaulHoule 5y agoI think many of the things you find on Youtube aren't supposed to be there but they get uploaded anyway.
- skinnymuch 5y agoYeah Alter Ego isn’t. I think parent was looking at officially available paid offerings only. Not pirated streaming which the grandparent/OP is referring to. Content creators don’t get anything in that case though.
- skinnymuch 5y agoI believe the OP meant bootleg uploaded copies. Otherwise like you said. Many streaming services have it: Hulu, Fubo. Even Fox’s subsidiary Tubi has it. Which is free streaming I believe with ads. A one month subscription will usually be cheaper then buying.
