Tubi is better than Netflix

r/

Honestly, netflix has became very boring. There’s not that much good things to watch. Unironically, Tubi has classic shows, it’s free, and has a lot of original yet interesting small shows. Acting could be better yes, but overall, Tubi is more enjoyable to use than netflix.

    Tubi is legit one of the best streaming services. You can watch classic Doctor Who, the Marx Brothers and absolute garbage all in the same place. I would pay to have an ad free version just because I enjoy it so much

    I honestly think that tubi should offer a paid service specifically so I can download the movies, but yeah, in every way other than not being able to watch offline they’re superior to pretty much every other streaming service I can think of.

    Stremio has literally everything both services do including their exclusives, it’s free, and doesn’t have ads.

    Tubi has really upped its game. The streaming quality is really good and they have a large constantly updated selection.

    Pluto is ok too. The app is more jank and they have work to do, but it also has a large selection of free movies.

    It’s not unpopular to me. I love tubi. Their originals are hilarious no matter what the genre. If you want a laugh, watch the originals. My old horror movies are there. It’s shit sometimes but entertaining. I really hope they won’t sell. That’s going to be the death of them with all these paid streaming services that are now shit

    Netflix has yet to make a solid movie from there production company pure trash Tubi poops on Netflix in almost every way…

    Hell yeah, love Tubi. I’m not sure this is even an unpopular opinion, it’s more just like an underdog thing where you would assume because Netflix is paid it must have good content. But I think most people agree it’s just slop now.

    Plex is better than both

    Are there commercials? And if so, can you pay to avoid them?

    Tubi isn’t better than Netflix — it’s just different. Netflix has to generate new, exclusive content because its revenue comes mainly from subscriptions (and now a bit from ads). Tubi, on the other hand, mostly runs on non-exclusive or super cheap content — stuff that’s already made the rounds and wouldn’t work as a lure for a subscription platform.

    Technically, Netflix could absorb Tubi’s library, but it would just clutter the platform, mess with their algorithms, and confuse users. Plus, it wouldn’t help with subscriptions since that same content is already free elsewhere.

    Tubi is great for nostalgia and catching stuff you missed when it was behind a paywall. Netflix is where you go for new, original, or recent content that you can’t find anywhere else.

    But Tubi is dipping its toe into original content.

    I can’t go back to ads. I just can’t. Especially since Tubi does that thing where the ads and the movies are different volume levels.

    They’re not even the same type of service though.

    When Tubi has their own original shows then they’ll be comparable.

    Tubi is great for what it is though.

    I just like saying “Tuuuubi”

    I agree. Netflix keeps making crappy reality, crappy true crime, and crappy low cost movies. There’s 2 things coming out this summer I will watch, then I am done with Netflix

    This is why I only sub to Netflix for 1 month about twice a year. There’s so little I’m interested in I can wipe it out in a week or two then be good for another 6 months.

    I agree, I’m always finding way cooler stuff to watch on there and it’s free!

    before they took Red Dwarf off tubi I would have agreed, but I stopped using it when they got rid of the boys from the Dwarf.

    Tubi is great specially if you love horror

    Honestly with Tubi,pluto,plex and youtube i havent felt the need to have any service for the past 10 years unless its a new release which is very rare which then ill get it at the library

    Wayyyyy better

    Some of those free options are better than the paid services. Another one I live is Pluto TV. They have curated “channels” showing all kinds of older content. It’s good if you have adhd and don’t know what you want to watch because you can flip through 100 channels and rewind the show to the beginning if you find something cool.

    Netflix has been that way for years, honestly.

    P.S. stremio = everything you’d ever wanna watch without ads and free 🙂

    Nope. Netflix is not only the best streaming service, Netflix is the only streaming service. CBS all access and Disney do decent jobs, but all the little ones are jokes.

    Looking at you, zazzlo, cracko, peacock, tubi, etc.
