Don’t watch Tubi. It’s owned by Fox and funds Fox News. Pass it on.

boringaccount,

@ryanhoulihan i mostly play video games. and when i want to watch something i go to a piracy streaming site

Opus24,

@ryanhoulihan there are 'worse' parent companies out there besides the Fox/Tubi connection..

    Well damn. The only thing I watched so far is episode 1 of The Beverly Hillbillies (The Clampetts move to Beverly Hills). And the sad part is I remembered bits of it…

    @ryanhoulihan instead use yt-dlp to make a copy of the show you want to watch.

    GraceLaine,

    @ryanhoulihan thanks for the tip.
    Know anything about NN - News Nation - which has apparently hired Chris Cuomo?

    willmacleod,

    @ryanhoulihan holy shit I didn’t realize this. Thank you!

    ricksaunders,

    @ryanhoulihan Dammit! I heart Tubi. Sigh.

    @ryanhoulihan Wow, a couple of people in my feed just recommended it yesterday. They're very likely not of the Fox News ilk so they probably recommended just from a sincere appreciation of Tubi as one of the free platforms. Thank you.

    @ryanhoulihan The $$ are probably flowing the other way, but thanks for the heads up. I try not to by from Waystar Rayco.

    hfinyow,

    @ryanhoulihan wasn't going to because like the free TV apps on Roku, it's filled with ads...it's as bad as watching network television. But this gives me yet another reason to remove the app.

    absolutejank,

    @ryanhoulihan no offense but whenever you watch TV legitimately you’re playing russian roulette with supporting murdoch cause the entire american entertainment industry is owned by 6 dudes. if you don’t want to fund murdoch I’d propose finding…alternative…methods to watch TV.

    shaggersisspicy,

    @ryanhoulihan yeah, not as if there's much of value on there anyway. Though not everything owned by fox has been some kind of propoganda factory, like fxx, which strangely even makes pretty progressive shows. To be fair to Tubi though it is mostly just a dump for fox and fox subsidiaries content, atleast the stuff that nobody really cares about from that. I think about 80 percent of the user base for that service is just people who wanted to watch something specific and saw that had it, that's the only time I've ever used it. It does fund fox, but the money flows right up to Disney; if we cared about funding Disney that much we wouldn't ever spend money on any media ever. Tubi definitely, by association, furthers the ideas of fox, but it really doesn't do that in any severe way actually. Almost Everything is owned by some shitty company, that's just how capitalism runs I suppose.

    kflint,

    @ryanhoulihan ah shit thanks for the info

    toxtethogrady,

    @ryanhoulihan I never even knew Tubi was a thing...

    @ryanhoulihan That's good to know.

    @ryanhoulihan PlutoTV is better anyway.

    dancingmonkeys,

    @ryanhoulihan wait… didn’t newscorp sell all of fox to Disney?

    Edit:
    Never mind I didn’t realize fox corp still existed as a separate entity.

    edendestroyer,

    @ryanhoulihan yep, the moment i realized who owns it me and my partner were utterly disgusted. Too bad because i fucking loved the platform

    TheCoolest,

    @ryanhoulihan does this mean if I watch it with an ad blocker they'll lose money on licensing fees🤔
