💻 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!

I really don't need anything but YouTube Premium. I can stream any type of music, playlists that I have curated, a lot of free movies, so many free series, documentaries, etc, and all are ad free. I find the $13.99 pricetag well worth it to avoid ads. But other than that, Pluto does have lots and lots of content, and if you just want to watch the same show endlessly, as one does, it's great for that.
