    Jellyfin

    SmartTube

    We’re really running out of names for streaming services aren’t we?

        I don’t have one, it’s just another generic name for a small streaming platform that all blend together. Crunchyroll, Jellyfin, SmartTube, hell there’s even Mubi and Tubi. It’s just the trend of web based companies, whether it’s streaming services or vpns or what have you, it’s like they got it from a 2015 “name my company” website.

        Just an observation. But apparently, not unlike yourself, the terminally online took that as a personal attack on their favorite streaming service.

            Ok? And how does that change anything I said? I said it’s a generic name that tells you nothing about the service

            Also, saying a platform that describes itself as - “The volunteer-built media solution that puts you in control of your media.” - is not a streaming service, seems like really splitting hairs bud. It’s a free movie website with extra bells and whistles.

            My bad for coming on lemmy and not having every one of the 75,000 recommend privacy apps for people to cosplay Edward Snowden while they watch movies. Touch grass.

              It’s also not a free movie website. I’m just going to ignore your weird prejudiced comment about “privacy apps”. Saying this is a “privacy app” is like saying VLC media player is a “privacy app”.

            Two words slapped together that sound vaguely relevant, or some version of "blank"tube. Jellyfin doesn’t even seem vaguely relevant to streaming so it’s probably a worse offender than the others. Like I said, the kind of name a random name generator could turn out and may well have lol.

            Might be a great streaming service, I’ve never used it, and I’m not trying to discourage others from doing so. But I guarantee a month from now I’ll have completely forgotten its name.

              Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all doubt

                Really hilarious to use that quote the moment you chose to speak and not see any irony in it. Also I’m a fool for having an opinion? The irony is building.
