I’ve been running a Plex server for a few years now. At the beginning of this year, I finally cancelled all my streaming services (including Disney+ and Hulu) and use Plex almost exclusively. It’s always sad to see a boycott going on that I can’t participate in because I’ve already quit the service.
I do still pay for Curiosity Stream, but that’s basically like Netflix exclusively for documentaries. And super cheap compared to other streaming services. (Most expensive service is just under $6/mo if you pay annually) Gotta support the educational services!
I saw someone link to the PBS Passport here yesterday. I need to look into that too. PBS needs donations to stay alive, especially with our current administration trying to gut it.
I paid for Nebula’s Lifetime account, back when it was much cheaper. If I can avoid subscriptions, I will. Because subscriptions always end up more expensive than a one-time purchase.
EDIT: I follow Legal Eagle on Nebula too. I used to follow Charles Cornell as well, but he’s stopped releasing content on Nebula and has switched back to YouTube exclusively. I have a few others I follow on Nebula, but they haven’t been posting much content lately. I’ll have to check out City Beautiful.
Nice! I haven’t heard of that one. I’m familiar with Shudder, which a streaming service exclusively for horror films and TV shows. Perfect for this upcoming season; my wife and I are already binging horror movies
I’m a huge fan of horror, so I’ve been toying with getting a subscription to Shudder for a while now, but every horror movie and show I want to watch eventually ends up on my Plex server anyway.

I pay for Nebula.tv for a similar reason. Mostly for Legal Eagle and City Beautiful.

I’ll shout out NASA+, there isn’t a lot on there but it’s free.
There’s not a ton of content on PBS passport. I just keep the subscription running and check it every six months or so for new content.
I haven’t heard of Curiosity Stream, but sounds like something I’d actually watch. Thanks for dropping that name
If you’re into small streaming services, also look at Dropout for your comedy needs.

Damn, Sherlock is on PBS Passport? Crazy, great show
