---Obligatory fuck Netflix post---
Watch anything you want super simple: https://movie-web.app/search/movie
Look for something to watch, less simple: https://goku.sx/home
Stream or torrent, use with a VPN if you download: https://github.com/popcorn-official/popcorn-desktop (scroll down for install files)
Canceled my sub a year ago (which had lasted since the Blockbuster days) when I heard about the changes and never looked back. Their horrible treatment of talent and their refusal to provide proper residuals is one of the main dynamics driving the SAG AFTRA strike. Imagine being a major actor in a show millions are actively watching, and your monthly check from it is $27.
Side note, Netflix has 3.5 billion in free cash on hand. Once the strike was announced, they scaled back their content investment and are now claiming 5 billion in cash reserves.
These fuckers can absolutely afford to pay their talent a living wage. Until they do, they aren't getting a dime from me.
Wow that first one is crazy easy
Yep, and pretty powerful for sharing too, as you can simply link an entire movie or series episode via hyperlink.
I take it access through a VPN is advised?
Generally, but the way movie-web and goku.sx work is that they're linking you to cached streams pulled from torrents and hosted on separate servers like Upcloud - you're only viewing the content, not hosting it. As such your risk of being prosecuted is considerably less than directly torrenting, especially if you've got decent privacy protections on your browser.
That being said, safety first unless you trust your ISP.
How have I never heard of these?
