    I have a yearly subscription on it. What I like is that it forces me to check out the catalogue, rather than choosing for me.

    Makes me think of what I am looking for.

    Are you looking for a yt replacement, it is not it, as the app, functionality of the platform is not flashy. The catalogue is left focused and priorities quality over quantity.

    I will be continuing my subscription this year as well.

      Damn fair enough. I mean a lot of the stuff on there looks pretty high quality like documentaries and stuff. I assume there’s already a substantial amount of content to binge already since it’s been out for a while? I was thinking of subscribing but like there’s also not many creators on there I’ve heard of besides the deprogram boys. Do you have any recommendations? And also is it all like political content or is there like more entertainment focused stuff as well?

  • I haven’t dug deeply yet into the catalog but I appreciate the content its exposed me to. Means Morning News is good, positive leftist news is good too, but those are also on YouTube if you don’t want to sub. Its also nice getting the regular content from YouTube without getting the ad reads. The quality of the means.tv direct content is really high. I have to go back and scan the catalog. I don’t usually have the right time or setting to watch a documentary due to kids and work, but I should build a list of things to watch.
