As “streamflation” continues to hit consumers, one streaming service is enjoying ratings success by staying free (with ads): Tubi. Nielsen data showed that May was Tubi’s most-watched month ever, with an average audience of 1 million viewers, up 46% from a year ago

Tubi has a lot of horror films. Of course a lot of it is trash, but there are also quite a lot of gems and genre classics on there! And that goes for all genres.

And funny about the median age. I’m 39! I turn 40 in July!

Honestly I watch Tubi just as much as any app im subscribed to. I unsubbed from Netlfix cause it runs like shit on Roku TV's, I get better quality/connection speed from 🏴‍☠️

Tubi has a lot of great classic horror. The Italian Giallo section alone is worth checking out.

Haha I'm 39 and we are currently a Nielson family. Should I start watching Tubi to send a message? I already canceled Netflix a couple price increases ago (ie in '23).

Their CEO will want an IPO eventually :(

They have a few good shows - Babylon 5, Merlin, old stuff like Gillgan's Island & Scooby Doo.

Merlin? I was about to do a rewarch for the first time since high school and i was wondering who had it.

Yep I find I use Pluto and tubi along with free local news. I only pay for 2 streaming services. Streaming should not cost more than a cable package.
