I sometimes use dailymotion for old tv shows that aren’t on the others - the app used to be alright, just another YouTube-esque clone, but now they seem to be trying to turn it into a reels/tiktok/shorts thing and it is Bad
Grayjay has a dailymotion plugin.
Oh wow this looks great, thanks
All of them
Because I said so that’s why
Disney+. Fuck The Mouse.
Niche answer is probably some little alt-right ULTRA MAGA FREEDOM NEWS NETWORK but I’m honored to not know any of those cesspits by name
Disney is what prompted me to ask this question
^ I was watching movies on Disney+ with a friends and I was appalled that a streaming service had so many ads, not to mention that she was paying a subscription fee. Not only that, but some classic Disney movies just weren’t in English for some reason? They were dubbed in Mandarin and the only option was to add English subtitles. Awful platform
You get ads even if you pay for the more expensive ad-free subscription.
At least those seem to be rare, only at the beginning, and they let you skip, but it’s frustrating that you have to do that at all.
I would think the underground ones that host content which is horribly abusive and illegal (in ways beyond merely piracy)
I bet they offer a better ui and amore stable service than Disney though.
Paramount+
Every time I have tried it either via a free trial or on someone else’s account, it refuses to load any of the content I want to see. The other services all suck in various ways, but at least they fucking work.
That’s the one I immediately thought of too. We use my girlfriend’s sister’s account to binge classic shows, but it routinely plays a completely different episode than the one we selected. You also can’t pause most episodes, so you have to exit the episode and then start it back up again and find wherever you left off. And on top of all that they show ads for their own shitty shows before every episode – dude we’re watching Andy Griffith, clearly we’re not the target audience for your G-rated “Friends” knockoff.
Not that long ago I tried that on a free trial, I just don’t get it. Like there’s nothing on there. I used it to get to watch a couple football games, not even the local ones you can’t watch those, but there was nothing else. Shocking lack of content for a paid product.

Discovery Plus. Reality show garbage; not worth even those five quid per month. I subscribed when they acquired streaming rights for Eurosport, and tried to find anything that would be at least marginally entertaining without rotting my brain. I failed. When they lost Eurosport, I immediately cancelled my subscription.
The only ones with a decent video player are Hulu and Apple. You hit seek back, and it just goes back a few seconds with a preview, then you hit ok, and it loads quickly and plays. Max is the exact opposite. Netflix is still finicky with this like 15 years later, and Amazon has different functionality for every device I’ve used.
Netflix. They cancel anything worthwhile, flood the channel with knockoff realty programming, and charge the most.
Close second would be Max because Zaslav and the Discovery merger have have ruined it. Again, canceling good programming in a race to the reality show bottom while charging a premium price.
Yep! Sick of shows being cancelled so I’m wary of starting things that aren’t finished, increasing the likelihood they’ll drop it. Plus so much of netflix is pure shit.
Realty would be more interesting than half the shows on Netflix tbh
Never will forgive them for canceling Kaos
Any of them with a completely unnecessary boot up noise. Especially when you forget download you left things, it can scare the crap out of people. And no options to disable it. Fuck these companies.
I think Diseny is the only major one that doesn’t do that shit.
Fanduel Sports Network The Roku App improperly validates email addresses. You have to contact support to change your email address on the account. The website stream doesn’t automatically switch from the pregame show to the game. You can be logged in to the website and the support chat doesn’t know whop you are.
All of em 🏴☠️
In terms of functionality and UI, my vote goes to Paramount+. They’re lucky I love Star Trek so much.
their app is so garbage. I would just give up on trying to watch stuff when I had it
Their app is such hot garbage. I have had to pirate episodes because my app gets frozen on ads and refuses to play an episode.
What’s a streaming platform?
glances at thepiratebay[dot]org 😎
Well in that case, I guess you can add Plex to the list. I switched to Jellyfin after their recent update.
Pretty much all of them, for much the same reason. If I’m paying you directly, you shouldn’t be showing me ads. If the amount you’re charging is not enough to support your service without showing me ads in addition to my subscription fee than you should raise the damned price.
To be clear, Ad supported is fine. Subscription supported, fine. I’m not paying a subscription to watch ads.
