I’m the first voter :laughing: Do I get an award?

Yes you will be recognized as a head Kahuna and be granted full privileged status among the natives.

Youtube by far. I’ve spent more time browsing the netflix catalog than actually watching anything on there.

Its not even a question Netflix is shit.

But if Youtube, then no movies, documentaries and tv shows?

Youtube because...

  • no flashlight reviews on Netflix :-p
  • myriads of informative or entertaining videos on YT (e.g. „Norway in 4K“)
  • music videos or full concerts on YT
  • search engine on Netflix really suxxs
  • I only found a few series worth watching on Netflix (BB, BCS, Dark, Lupin)
  • Most films I was looking for were not included on Netflix (Germany)
  • Netflix frequently increases their subscription fees and to me they have become too expensive

Remember, it’s 1 whole year from January 1 to Dec 31 @ 365 days straight. Psychologically speaking, after a few months, would one not crave for say…a good Titanic movie??

Neither of the above?

The correct answer would be Kodi.
But I’ll take youtube for now.

None of above.

I looked at this thread earlier and it didn’t register but just now I realized that with the travel restrictions here I am actually marooned on a tropical island and have been for a whole year!!

I got Netflix for my daughter, I’m much happier with a good book.

For years everyone fought to ditch their cable box and replace it with so called free services. Now these same people have Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, and they pay more per month than they did with th the cable box. We fell right into the trap while Bezos was picking out his $400M yacht.

Netflix doesn’t work on rooted phones, probably some equally dumb shenanigans would stop it working on my pc…

Youtube doesn’t have much worth watching. I mostly use it for gun takedowns and other tutorial.

Gotta say neither lol

Well, it has to be YouTube. There are about 0 instructional videos on how to survive on Netflix…
If it’s just for entertainment I would pick Netflix though.

Which Youtube are we talking? The free or the paid streaming service? I can not comment on Youtube TV but the free service is my go to for repair or music videos. Netflix is ok for movies and shows. Netflix swept the Emmys this year.

YT:

How to survive, how to anything.
What’s new, what’s not.
Weed out the frivolous (Mr. & Mrs. Howell) and apply knowledge (The Professor)

Also, watching idiots lightens my rut.

What you mean “we”, paleface?

I get my content the old-fashioned way.

Freedom? That is a worship word, Yang worship. You will not speak it.
