I received around $600 total for the moose video. None of the other stuff I put up paid anything., I did the videos when I was in real estate to attract visitors to my website.
I always use vpn while streaming movies. It helps me to find anything I want for free. I installed ExpressVPN here https://www.firesticktricks.com/install-best-vpn-firestick.html because this app is easy to use and the connection is really faster.
If itās got ads, itās not free. If I want to watch TV with ads, Iāll throw the rabbit ears back on the top. Nothing more screwed-up for your brain than a jarring commercial in the middle of a show.
HEREās an idea:
I donāt know about youse guyses, but if there are advertisements interrupting my viewing at ANY level, I do not consider the service to be āFREEā in any stretch of the word. I gladly paid (in the past) for streaming services on the promise of no ads. To say that, for example, āFreeVeeā is a free service is just bullshit. Itās not free when itās impinging on my brain. In the words of NPR, they are āmonetizing my eyeballsā. No, and NO.
I have an OTA, Roku and an Amazon Firestick. I use tons of free apps. I pay absolutely nothing for TV. Kanopy and Hoopla are two great free resources. All you need is a library card to watch hundreds of free movies.
Cut the Cable and Paid Streaming Services and Watch TV for Free ā The Tech Minimalist (wordpress.com)
I love TubiTv great screamingmovies new and old. I also love PlutoTV as well bith channels are my go tos fir great movies that constantly plays one after another. Amazon Prime, Paramount and Peacock are the only apps that I actually pays subscriptions for.
Over the decades I had free movies and shows.
First it was the MDS (Multi Point Distribution System). This was a video service in some metropolitan areas which hosted a channel or two and they had a receiver and antenna you were supplied. The subscription service was somewhat popular but there was an issue. The service was transmitted over the air and sat exactly next to a Ham Radio band. The receiver to pick up the signal could be made for next to nothing. The antenna was essentially a threaded rod with washers spaced on it.
Then there was the early days of satellite TV. Many networks and services transmitted in the clear because at the time, who had a satellite dish taking up theit yard? Me for one. HBO was free, well until they scrambled it, but you could subscribe to most all paid services (HBO, Showtime, CNN, TBS, The Movie Channel, etc for a couple hundred dollars a year). You could still watch network stuff for free, Star Trek, Newhart and other shows which you saw IN ADVANCE perhaps a week in advance.
Then there was cable. Cable TV had free channels and some that were subscription. I never bypassed security on cable but some channels were not fully filtered out. In 2000 I moved and I paid for cable TV and Internet. I did not subscribe to premium channels, however they put a filter in my line. It was not fully working and some of the premium channels they meant to block were fuzzy but watchable. This continued for over a decade, so I chose price over quality and squinted some.
As I mentioned before, Youtube has some movies and shows for free (with Ads). Also, Archive.Org has some free books, videos and other content.
I pay for a couple services now but still watch content from Pluto.TV, Roku TV, and many of the other services offered for streaming. In some cases a program on one of the services is live (like a cable tv channel would be) but I could start it over and watch from the beginning. That is a nice ability also.
Then again, for live drama and comedy for free, go sit a while in the bus station.
It looks like itās been shut down.
