While i can find all manner of esoteric, oddball things to watch on the streaming services - which admittedly are not major studio movies - my partner feels the same as you. They lament that many of the services lack "big budget films&

THIS! Isn't this part of the circular economy? If not, then it should be. This right here is what we shold all be doing!

Thanks so much for this! I guess because for my usage, most often I'm viewing photos and videos either via mobile or via my local directory (which is what gets synched to my nextcloud instance)...so i have not encountered some of these

The Fediverse en masse - and most participants that i have met on the Fedi in my 13 or so years on this thing - are not trying to "take off". However, the beauty of the freedom of the underlying protocols and other mechanisms like
