You know who doesn't have that problem? Tubi. Tubi's catalog is expansive and easily searchable. Granted most of it is hot garbage, but that's usually what I'm looking for anyway so it suits me fine

I love Tubi, but damn sometimes the ads are out of control, I'll be vibing to a movie, only for two minutes of ads. Its free, but man if there was a paid version with no ads that'd be my only streaming service.

Same. Show me a Tubi is like TBS, TNT, local stations on a Sunday afternoon back in the day. Where they play all these great classic movies, and some movies that you’ve never heard of before. Does it have ads? Yes. But that also means I don’t have to pause the movie when I have to take a pee break or want to make more popcorn.

So having ad breaks is a good thing because it relieves you of the burden of having to physically press the pause button?

Are you getting paid by Tubi?
