If only there were a service that:
- Doesn't show ads, or steal your personal information.
- Has all the content from every major streaming service.
- Is scalable and efficient without a centralized single point of failure.
- Can be used with 100% free and open source software.
- Lets you keep your favorite shows forever without being subject to the whims of corporate licensing.
- dleslie 4y agoDVDs. What you're asking for is DVDs.
- Wazako 4y agoDVDs with 20s of ads not passable?
- AlexandrB 4y agoBuy the DVD and then sail the high seas for a digital copy. You get both a better media experience and a physical backup if your hard drive dies. Edit: I also spend the extra money on a Criterion or Arrow release if it's available. These never have ads.
- dleslie 4y agoVLC, and other FOSS DVD players, do not abide by do-not-skip flags.
- autoexec 4y agoPiracy, because these days a lot of shows never make it to DVD. Disney in particular is terrible about this (probably to push Disney+ subscriptions). Star vs. the Forces of Evil came out in 2015 and hasn't seen a DVD release. Same with The Owl House and their marvel shows https://www.cbr.com/disney-no-current-plans-release-marvel-shows-dvd-blu-ray/ https://www.cbr.com/disney-no-current-plans-release-marvel-s...
- dleslie 4y agoIn my experience, piracy is worse than DVDs for selection; if it's not recent, and not popular, then piracy won't have it. I also prefer compensating creators.
- autoexec 4y agoMy experience is the opposite. It can be harder to find unpopular things, but there are very few things that aren't out there at all. More often (as is the case with Disney) piriacy can be your only option. I do like having high quality physical media I can rip copies of myself when something is available but Disney doesn't like to give people that option no matter how recent/popular the show is. We don't really have many official options for compensating creators either. It doesn't matter how much you watch The Owl House on disney+ it's not the same as writing Dana Terrace a check. Thankfully she was already compensated by Disney. Support for creators and their shows can be given in a lot of ways. You can always try to support a show you download by word of mouth promotion, seeding torrents, social media engagement, and buying merch.
- habitue 4y agoX, what you want is X Where X is some thing that may or may not be what the the poster actually wants, but the temptation to own them by saying it already exists is too great.
- fsflover 4y agoTry torrents in I2P. They don't have everything but growing.
- Markoff 4y agoI think it was rhetorical question subtly implying torrent.
