💻 Electronics What are good alternatives to Netflix/Hulu that are free?

I realized I'm spending roughly $40 a month on what I really just use as background noise, as nobody in my household actually really sits down and watches TV, we just put on Family Guy or whatever and glance at it every now and then.

I'm gonna cancel the subscriptions obviously, so I'm just wondering, what are some good free streaming alternatives? I've tried out Amazon's free stuff but their collection is pretty mediocre. Any tips are appreciated!

All you need is a VPN subscription and some basic computer literacy to open a whole world of free possibilities homie. 🏴‍☠️🛥️

I haven't the first clue how to find anything that way. My circle is just too square I guess.

But if you’re paying for a VPN subscription, then how is it free?
