YouTube is now renting / streaming commercial movies
How long has this been happening? This is the first time that I've seen it.
Over a decade. They promote it constantly, too, so it's weird that you only now noticed lol
Lol I didn't know either, guess because I have ad blockers...
They don't advertise them in normal ads (at least, I haven't seen any because I also block ads); they do so by having one of the rows on your homepage being movies. Like Recommended or Recently Uploaded. I see it pop up daily on my feed 😩
I never saw the promotions for this but I was aware of it.
For ages. Sometimes they have pretty good movies for free.
Yup. For a while they had The Terminator on there for free, probably around 1 or 2 years before it went back to being paid.
