The Weird World of Streaming Services (Ranked) 

What is your favorite streaming service ???

Man the US has taxi driver, lady bird and a lot of other good stuff and here in the Netherlands all we have is Noah centineo........

We found him... The only person with *_RU-vid Red_*

Me: I wanna see the credits Netflix: WATCH THIS TRAILER YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT

man has Casually Explained, Mr Sunday Movies, and Fantano in his recommended on youtube

My favorite streaming service is any illegal streaming site that allows me to watch practically ANY movie from any country, year, genre, etc.

IMO: I see the top 3 that will be the biggest in the future being, Netflix, HBO, and Hulu. I like prime video the most though but I dont like the fact that they mix premium content with the free. Feels like false advertisement to me.

Why is your Disney+ icon not Lightning McQueen

There's this one called Kanopy which has a lot of criterion collection, all of A24, and many more indie/foreign films

MUBI is also in a similar caterogry with Criterion, with 30 days and 30 films, curated beautifully.

Netflix may be flawed, but it says something about their platform when they happily put some of their films in theaters

Yeah Hulu has got Atlanta so that’s the best streaming service

>The Criterion Channel logo appears. **immediately does a chef’s kiss**

I'm getting really annoyed by all these services, as they add up being quite expensive and don't even offer stuff at all or on time here in Germany. So I came here expecting to get pissed, but that video was funny as hell; thanks!

I know you DID NOT mention Netflix having anime but passed over the fact that HBOmax has Crunchyroll?!?!?!?Netflix’s anime catalogue is washed

is anyone talking about karsten's profile picture being troy bolton 😂

streaming services catalogues are a joke when you don't live in the us....

last time i was this early netflix was still renting out movies and mailing them to you

before i watch: amazon prime is superior and thats based bc of the music trivia and cast that pops up during watching. genius i wish more streaming services did that.

I’m outraged on behalf of the fubo tv fandom

We just not gonna y’all about the incredible TCM section on HBO Mac

HBO NOW..? more like HBO Later

the editing in this video is awesome

It'd be worth mentioning Kanopy. It's a free streaming service if you are a part of any library. It has stacks of independent films and documentaries as well as classics. Ive been using it for a few years now and my watchlist is still over 100.

Surprised MUBI isn't mentioned, it has tons of great content and always changing collections makes me actually watch the movies. Definitely one of my favs since Criterion channel isn't in my country.

I love hbo and a lot of their content but their site is ridiculously hard to navigate. I am so annoyed trying to go through the shows amd episodes and I am not often compelled to watch it. Netflix definitely has the best accessibility but their content can be...ya know

Fun Fact: In Australia we have “Stan” instead of “Hulu”

Netflix just announced dark season 3. So they win.... for now.

Lady Bird coming on Netflix is the best thing that has ever happened for my wallet

I dislike how Netflix recommends content tailored to the viewer bc there’s a lot of content I like that they don’t recommend

Thank you! I feel like everyone sleeps on Prime because “it’s interface is bad”.

The noah centineo plus is stuck in my head until I die I guess

For anyone who has HBO Max or is interested in getting it, I highly recommend watching Doom Patrol, one of the best superhero shows out right now, very character driven with great writing and fun ideas, a new seasons coming out pretty soon so now is the best time to watch

my problem with the prime video layout is that I feel like the algorithm chooses like a group of movies it thinks you'll like and then it won't stop pushing that group of movies until you've watched all of them? idk I watched one (1) gay movie and prime was like "okay so here are all of the gay movies and you will watch all of them or else they won't leave your homepage :-)" could just be a personal issue tho ajdhfajfh

I gotta say, a lil piece of gold I found on Apple tv + was this series called Little Voice. That shit made me cry.

The Kanopy krew took a massive L today

When are you ranking farm animals? I’m waiting for that video for soooo long.

Hulu is the Chic-Fil-A of streaming services

Congrats on 300k Karsten! Glad to still be here during this huge milestone!

Kanopy is my favourite one, it has so many great classic, indie, arthouse, and just great movies. They also have many movies from the criterion collection. The best part is that it’s free, you just need a library card in the US or Australia.

I’ve heard physical media is the way to go, as these streaming services (especially Disney Plus) have been censoring content for no good reason

I am in awe of how House Of Cards generated a hologram to star in the show. It's crazy how such a riveting performance could be delivered by a person that doesn't exist.

10:39 hahah caught me off guard with that one! Putting 'Noah Centineo' in there with all the other genres was a very subtle, but hilarious (and very accurate) joke. Like I said, it caught me off guard which is likely why i found it so funny, but still. Good stuff lol.

how do u not have at least 1M subs?!?!? it´s crazy . love your content

*Top Streaming Service : T O R R E N T*

Criterion is the only service I need

I have a few ideas for some future videos: -Rank Nolan Films - Rank all of the Oscar Best Picture films (can do multiple videos in it) -Same as above but with Oscar Best Actor performances -Rank all the Marvel films -Rank all of the Batman films (old and more recent) Like so he can see

Hot take: Pluto TV is the king of free streaming services. Rue Paul's Drag Race, American Gladiators, retro nick, Slow TV, weirdly nostalgic 90s TV shows, and a bunch of quality cult movies. They are the real MVP.

Mubi is another streaming service that is similar to the criterion channel, I really like it

Netflix is fantastic and I don’t get the hate it’s getting sometimes

6:37. That joke perfectly encapsulates Netflix as a Whole. That joke gave me an unexpected laugh, so thank you Karsten👍🏾

Recently got the Criterion collection to watch Fantastic Planet. I love it because they tell you what movies are leaving that month (unlike Netflix where I have to look it up somewhere else). I couldn't recommend it more.

no one: absolutely no one: me who only has netflix because that's the only streaming service in ph: *"it's PIRACY time"*

Please make an update on this video now, 2 years later!

4:40 wait a second, wait a second.....why is fantastic mr. fox there

8:15 When he watches Suspiria 🙈🙈 KING

This is a hilarious video in today's context

Karsten grew up with streaming services

The content disparity between usa and other countries seems pretty insane. In most countries netflix is the one who offers Ghibli movies. Amazon here has barely any content for streaming that others don't.

I'm a sitcom and cartoon junkie, so Hulu has always been my favorite. Recently though, I've been getting into movies a bit more, so I re-started my Netflix subscription and might try out HBO Max. I also really like the nostalgia factor of DCOMs and Disney channel series, so I'm enjoying Disney+ so far.

Criterion isn't in the UK. Anyone recommend Mubi as an alternative?

The most privileged part about being american is the access to streaming services

In South Africa we have a service called Showmax: it has rights to all HBO content and a lot of original content from CBS and Hulu; it has a bunch of great films; content is uploaded daily; it streams some live news and sports channels; it has local South African content; and it's cheaper than Netflix. So, all I need is Netflix and Showmax and Mubi (for arthouse and classics) and I have almost everything I need, just for ± $30 a month.

Yes karsten watches its always sunny! That made my day!

I’m using Hulu to watch Cowboy bebop too lmao

no MUBI?

this is one of your best edited video yet. also congrats on 300k

in Argentina netflix have all the ghibli movies

My take away from this is HBO Max is something to keep your eyes on, The Criterion Channel needs more attention, Hulu is slowly rising up and Netflix is flawed still reliable and I don't care much about all the other services tbh.

yh the netflix section of this video has aged like milk

omg i just turned in my final last night about the redundancy of streaming. great video!

congratulations on 300k!!! ❤️

still waiting for the mid90s review that you promised us on letterbox😔

RU-vid Vanced is an Android app that gives you RU-vid Red features without having to pay for a subscription. Might want to look into it

6:20 oh shit Eyes Without a face and a Once Upon a time in the West... this HBO Max might have some potential...

if you're watching this and you're a broke student in the uk like me - MUBI has a free film up every day (and it's up for 30 days) for free with student subscription and they sometimes do free screenings at cinemas too; kanopy lets you access films from your library for free, and BoB has everything that's been broadcast on British tv as far as i know - it is hard to navigate, but you can find so much stuff on there, completely free (although it is a tv recording so you have to sit through ads). also, if you have a curzon cinema near you, they have a student discount + off peak tickets during the day !! i can't afford to pay for subscriptions myself + my parents only use netflix so these have all been great for accessing more quality films xo

My favourite streaming service is pirating 😃

They did not play there cards right

You didn’t mention it, but Kanopy is a really good streaming site! You can make an account for free (signing up with your university ID or local library card). It has a mix of old and recent releases (but not blockbusters), and it has a really good selection of Criterion Channel films, as well as all of a24 films

Congrats on graduating Karsten Johnson Runquist! Me and Nihal thoroughly your Adam Driver quote.

The only thing I like about Apple TV+ is defending jacob and that’s it

Myflixer and then soap2day

My tv is so old the only thing it has is RU-vid, Netflix, and a weather app

to all my fellow Australians without the criterion channel and looking for odd one-off indie films and/or classic, i only recently discovered this website called Kanopy. basically, if you have a library card from a local government-run library, you can use your library card number to create an account, and for free you have an abundance of odd films, a few theatrical releases, and cult classics.

Can we please just get rid of them all and put everything onto ONE single streaming service?

Idk why Karsten with the fubo tv shirt is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen

congrats on 300k big boy

Please use dark mode with RU-vid. No one wants to see 100% luminance.

Waits patiently for Crunchyroll to be number 1...

RU-vid is actually my go-to for streaming when something isn't on Netflix. It has pretty much everything, is easy to Chromecast with, is usually only €5 for a rental (even better if you split with a friend) and I charge it to my phone credit which usually goes unused otherwise.

I'm surprised that you didn't mention Cobra Kai when talking about RU-vid Premium.

Sony Crackle>>>>>>>>>all the others

Petition for Karsten to rank every RU-vid original film

the fubo tv bit at 0:54 killed me

0:59 I was literally just looking at his copy of 1984 the whole time...

Defending Jacobs on ATV+ is one of the most interested western tv show I watched in 2020. Stellar acting and very great story. It worth the price of one month of ATV+

god damnit Karsten, that hand job joke about netflix really got me😂😂😂

HBO Go = You can access general HBO if you have it a part of your TV plan from ISP, therefore you login into HBO Go with those account details HBO NOW = A subscription-style payment that does not require a TV Plan. HBO Max (If you pay for HBO NOW, you also get HBO MAX) = Streamlines the platform of HBO NOW, but will feature the HBO MAX exclusive series and movies, I think.

your thumbnails and videos are so soothing

I was expecting to hear your opinion on Mubi since a lot of content creators are sponsored by them, also I like the platform
