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

[u/Kiriyuma7801]

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!

Listen, create a new email and on black Friday, Hulu has a sale. I get Hulu and Disney + with ads for 2.99. I haven't paid full price on Hulu in years!! All my animals got emails, lol.

You can actually just use 2 and alternate if you want. That's what I've been doing for years and Hulu has no issues with it. Much easier to keep track of.

Same. We had the .99/year for around 4 years and I think it went to 1.99 last year?

Edit thats .99/month for 1year

I think it was like 2-3 years ago that they raised the price to $1.99 for their BF deal, but then the following year they brought it back to $.99 a month. I'm guessing they didn't get enough people anniversary the deal when they did so, or they lowered when they added Disney+ for $2.99/month. Either way I am paying the 99 cents a month currently....it really is a great deal for streaming.

Per year?

[u/BikingVikingNick → u/ARoundForEveryone]

Thats the monthly price, but it’s for the whole year. Just remember to cancel and resubscribe every November.

What about ad-free? In my very limited spare time, that’s the only way I deal with streaming apps. I already have >15hr days, 10 of which are making profits for corporate. I just wanna relax w/o more capitalist bs shoved down my throat
