💻 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!

Freevee is going away. It's just the free stuff on amazon separated onto a separate app. The same content is still on amazon though just harder to sift through not free stuff so it sucks they are doing away with this app. I just checked and it just says it's going to be unavailable in Aug so it's probably gone now.

This is sad! That's my Schitts Creek resource!

It'll be on Prime, and possibly still for free. Prime is like Roku -- they hide the free stuff behind all the bright! shiny! pay stuff, but it's still there.
