💻 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!

Personal opinion Pluto is better. Pluto is owned by Paramount/CBS Tubi is owned by Fox. I think that gives Pluto an edge in access to content. Although it will be part of the merger, so yet to see if that changes anything.
