A reminder that Gabe Newell once said: ‘The easiest way to stop piracy is by giving people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates.’
I'm 32, the first time I paid for music was when I signed up for Spotify (I now buy vinyl occasionally for artists I particularly like and want to support). Streaming services were shit and over-saturated years ago and it's only getting worse, it's not sustainable, what we need is a RUclips-like service that's free to sign up to where the distributors pick their own models for generating revenue, maybe it's ad based and free to watch, maybe it's locked behind a paywall or you can pick between watching ads or paying to not have them.
I once spent like 6 hours many many years ago trying to pirate GTA 4 for PC, only to find it was on sale on steam for like 4 dollars, and I ended up buying it on steam and it was way easier and more enjoyable that way to play the game.
That sounds really annoying. Spotify makes it easy, give them 10 bucks or whatever a month, and you get to listen to any song you want, no ads, it just works. @@RubyDoobieScoo
@@spazmaster6731I've got a similar story. I was in the mood to replay GTA4 and I had two options for playing it. 1) Turn off and Unplug my PS5, Plug in my Xbox One, wait an hour or two for it to update, locate my original copy of GTA4 and slot it in my Xbox, wait for the game to download and then play 2) Give Valve $4, turn on my steam deck, wait 30 minutes for the game to download and install, then play wherever and whenever I want with the added benefit of knowing that if I want to play this game again a few years down the road I can do so without needing to hold onto my aging Xbox.
Honestly, the whole CONCEPT of “public domain” was to help PROMOTE AGAINST intellectual property STAGNATION (ie: basically, these copyright holders ACTUALLY would have to develop NEW IDEAS and CHARACTERS rather than milking the SAME ONES DRY for nearly a century).
The Marvel rights are a migraine minefield. Let's have a stroll... - Marvel sold a licence to Sony to use Spider-Man and adjacent characters, including Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman who actually has as much to do with Spider-Man as Black Widow. - Sony made the Raimi trilogy. - Sony teamed up with Marvel for the animated series Spectacular Spider-Man, which is a sort of sequel to the first Raimi movie but doesn't line up with the movies. (Kind of like the same deal as the Jumanji cartoon, to name just one example.) - Marvel actually holds the animated Spider-Man rights, so they could and can make whatever animated series they want. - For some reason Sony sold Marvel the merchandise rights back. This is a weird one. - Marvel always held the videogame Spider-Man rights. After years licensing the IP to Activision they ended the relationship. Not just for Spider-Man, but everything. It's why you can't get the Deadpool game anywhere anymore either. - Sony makes the Amazing Spider-Man movies, but isn't happy with the second one making "only" 800 million dollars. (Probably has something to do with them basically shooting enough stuff for three movies to make that one movie. Mary Jane had a whole arc and was completely cut, to name just one thing.) They team up with Marvel to bring Spider-Man into the MCU. Marvel Studios produces, Sony pays the bill. The money split becomes an issue Disney wants to exploit, proposing some insane financial stuff that initially made Sony want to walk away, but after a public outcry and Tom Holland crying on the phone with Disney CEO Bob Iger (which apparently really happened) Disney comes to their senses. They therefore decided to let the public pay for Genie+ at their parks instead until the end of time (this is a bit of sarcasm). - Here things get curious. Sony or rather Insomniac, because they weren't bought by Sony yet, gets the license to make the Spider-Man game from Marvel, but exclusively for PS4. That exclusivity is probably part of the MCU deal, but isn't certain. Spider-Man also comes to the Avengers game from Squire Enix, but only on PS4 (after a long delay). - Sidestep to X-Men: One of the X-Men movie videogames actually has Spider-Man in it as an NPC. Why? Because Marvel handles the merch. - Fox wants X-Men TV series, but that's not part of their license. Before they had a legal battle over Mutant X, an X-Men based TV series made by Marvel in the 00s. Before that Fox and Marvel did team up in the 90s for the TV movie Generation X. Not really worth it to look up now, but it did have the first appearance of the building that also would serve as Xavier's school in the movies. X-Men animation was always Marvel's. Fox has to bring something to the table to get the okay to make Legion and The Gifted. They give Marvel back Ego the Living Planet, the Watchers and maybe some other stuff. They use them in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Marvel was also up for an extension of Fox's Daredevil license if they get stuff like Silver Surfer and Galactus back. Fox declined. - Back to Spider-Man. Consider the X-Men negotiations when Spider-Man goes exclusive for PlayStation games. Disney may also use the Tom Holland Peter Parker/Spider-Man in their theme parks and they do > Web Slingers ride at California Adventure and Walt Disney Studios, as well as character appearances. Starting with Venom 2 convoluted connections between Sony's "Spider-less" universe and the MCU are being made. The animated Spider-Verse movies are made by Sony, while before animation rights were most likely completely at Marvel. The character Cindy Moon was in Spider-Man: Homecoming and Avengers: Infinity War, but has since been MIA. Sony and Amazon are since developing a Cindy Moon/Silk TV series. Remember, Fox had to get back around the table with Marvel to do that with X-Men. Sony is also developing other "Spider-less" shows, like a Spider-Man Noir one, which will apparently not star Spider-Man Noir (and obviously no other Marvel heroes, because rights). - Talking about theme parks. Universal owns the Marvel theme park license in the US East of the Mississippi, but only based upon the comics and only for certain characters (it's why Walt Disney World has that Guardians rollercoaster at Epcot). There's also some weird nitpicky thing going on about who can mention "Marvel". As part of the deal Universal has to keep their Marvel land and rides to a certain standard otherwise they lose the license (this probably also goes for their The Simpsons land). (It's why the Marvel area looks pristine, while something like Suess' Landing is in disrepair.) Disney actually has people walking around for inspection, from time to time. Universal also has a theme park license for Japan, but the Spider-Man ride is shutting down there. A curious development that may open up Marvel possibilities for the Tokyo Disney resort, but what happens there is up to the Oriental Land Company who owns it and has a license to Disney stuff. (If you ever wondered why things are so different in Tokyo compared to the US or Europe, that's why. Disney also has a minority stake in the Chinese parks.) Meanwhile, there's a Marvel land at Dubai's IMG Worlds of Adventure, which includes an Avengers darkride, a Hulk disc ride and a Thor spinner. That's a deal made before Disney bought Marvel.
@@EspenSGXall true and interesting but Spectacular Spider-Man isnt a sequel to anything in the Raimi trilogy. Its a completely different story but it makes a lot of refferences to the raimi movies. And its a true shame how that cartoon got killed, because its the best piece of cartoon spider-man content in the modern age.
Some of my favorite Dunkey videos are the ones where he doesn't even make the jokes, he just reads off absurd but true statements that are made even more comedic by his voice and cadence.
@@tiddly5he still definitely presents it in a specific way to make it funnier, like mentioning that John Wick is kinda like Hitman, it's not really relevant but it serves to exaggerate how convoluted and confusing the streaming services are
I grew up as a pirate, I joined the common man and got myself a few streaming services. I like it, it was better with load of shows, I was even willing to pay $5 to rent newer movies on youtube/google, but its gotten so out of control, that pirate life is calling me back
Same, except so many ISPs send you cease and desists now if they catch you even using torrent software. Sure, you can use VPNs, but free ones suck and if you're paying a VPN subscription to pirate stuff you've kind of lost the plot on that one...
@saikimakyu You get to keep it forever though. And pick and choose whatever you want that anyone is seeding. And come on, Mullvad is €5 a month, you can't seriously compare that with what these streaming services are charging, especially if you need several of them to get what you want.
Bro I use one app and it streams torrent files. Pair that up with how easy scraping metadata is from files and you can BUILD your own streaming service with less steps than it takes to watch pokemon with no seeding BS or VPN subscriptions.
They didn't. Youre NOT entitled to everything. If you dont want to pay for it, dont steal it. Super easy to understand. Only reason to pirate anything is if you have no self control and you don't care at all that you are effectively stealing from those of us that actually pay for the service. They cant make content unless there are people who pay for it. Grow tf up.
I HAVE a netflix account and still I'm downloading netflix movies on bittorrent because if you watch on browser, you won't get better than 720p, even if you pay for more and if I install the Netflix App on PC, it somehow disables my sound system (!?) and the 1080p is a really bad 1080p stream? It's so dumb. WTF? The only reason I still pay for netflix is because my girlfriend watches it on tablet all the time but man do they suck now.
@@victor_. my guy really used the most consistent and high-quality video game company as a reason to pirate games instead of the freebies like ubisoft, bethesda, or EA
They just freaking anounced TV Pokemon will cease to exist on March and it's no longer downloadable anywhere else and I just finished Season 1 on Netflix and don't know where to watch Season 2 😭😭
They discontinued Pokemon TV 3 days after this video (the only way to watch Pokemon without losing your mind), the only logical explanation is that Dunkey is so dedicated to keeping his videos accurate he hired corporate spies.
I am in awe at that Pokemon infographic. The fact that is official is almost as insane as the hoops you must jump through to watch the entire animated Pokemon series.
@@ptralx3122 fr i get they've probably got some rights issues behind it of course but the fact their service straight up only has a few seasons had completely baffled me until now
Can you even watch the pokemon anime first few seasons in Japanese? I thought those episodes were lost. Many episodes from kanto -hoenn were lost forever like the original dragon ball broadcast was. If its only in english then why even care
My favorite thing about Dunkey' humor is that he weaves in and out of satire and comically true facts so quickly thats it's often hard which one statements are true and which are dunking trolling. He is the king of comedy! ;)
Idk if anyone else has started to do this, but the rise of these streaming services locking out content has just led me to start rebuilding a robust DVD and blu ray collection. I genuinely get a kick from rummaging through bargain bins in stores to try and find old movies I used to enjoy. You get permanent access to the content, on demand whenever you want, for usually an insanely low one time price. Honestly the concept of streaming services is just stupid now.
I just wish there was a new physical media over dvds and blu-ray. I have a 4k tv and want to find the best version possible, but most blu-rays are 1080p. DVDs are worse at 480i.
@@Lowtendo Oh you don't need to tell me. I have a kodi setup for piracy, but I wish there was a modern physical media option like a flash drive you can legally buy with a movie on it to keep.
Switching between every streaming service to watch things is a game in itself. The streaming industry has created the first stream type game and dunkey just gave us the first and best walkthrough for it.
Me typing in 123Movies, KissMovie, KissCartoon, 9Anime, Soaps2Day, HDBest, and Google Drive access to watch all of my favorite movies and TV shows for the low price of free: 😃
I like how neatly he put the point of the video at the very last sentence: "Buy the bluray to watch it" Truly the only way you can confidently own your favourite piece of media is by having a physical copy, let it be a bluray disk, a pirated copy saved on your hard drive, a literal videotape, etc.
Physical copies might become unplayable. I had vhs tapes, but nobody produces vhs players anymore, so I can't easily watch them, because this means buying a second hand machine, which are limited in supply, and might break. I feel the same is happening with dvds now, since I got a new laptop and it has no dvd input. Therefore, you either pirate a digital copy, or, if you want to be really safe in case storing files somehow becomes "outdated", actual film and a projector (ok, maybe that's too far lmao just pirate).
Thanks Dunkey, my DVD collection of Diamond Geezer had been cut in half right down the middle of the disc, and as such I only had the latter 12 minutes of every episode. This makes things so much easier!
I cackled out loud at the "good news for hockey fans" announcement. Then, shortly afterward resumed my journey into despair thanks to how accurate this video felt overall.
This is a brilliant showing of how terrible the "streaming wars" have made content consumption. The companies will 100% throw their hands up in the air and cry foul when everyone simply goes back to pirating (grey area streaming included).
Stop peddling this physical only bullshit. Digital is just as good, only if treated like any other product. You bought it once you OWN it. It's as simple as that.
@@xFluingexcept for when Sony announced they were going to delete everyone’s discovery “purchases” from their PlayStations, right? This is why physical media is better - Sony can’t break into my house and steal my movies. I understand what you’re saying that digital purchases are just as good in theory but that just isn’t reality.
I sometimes feel bad about pirating entertainment. Thank you Dunkey for making this video my go-to to feel better about it. It really makes me feel like a pirate.
Media piracy isn't theft and is completely victimless. Think of it this way, just because I pirate a game, that doesn't mean the developers 'lost' a sale, as I wasn't necessarily going to buy it in the first place even if I wasn't a pirate-- a lot of older media isn't even available to stream or purchase legally leaving "illegal" piracy the only valid option. As others have pointed out, if buying doesn't count as owning anymore, then pirating isn't stealing.
Blah@@ohiasdxfcghbljokasdjhnfvaw4ehr I'm stuck with just my TV's built in Google TV with HDMI ins for our Chromecast Ultra, AppleTV, Nvidia Shield, and Xbox 360 (for Plex). It works for us :)
Because there's too many. No sane person who isn't rich would pay for all these services. At most just like 2-3 cover the majority of stuff and exclusives
It's great that it's only $4.99/month with ads, oops looks like a price increase to $7.25/month with ads, but I also get the option to pay for a whole year for only $25.99/month for ad free, excuse me I meant, $32.95/month for ad free!
the fact that there is a website specifically for checking where something is beings treamed and it not being a shitty wee thing, it's actually a really well designed website, goes to show how much of a shitshow the streaming scene is
Yes, I started backing up my physical discs and purchasing more blu-rays about six years ago. Back then it was mostly Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll, with Disney Plus on the horizon. Made a Plex server, now got about 20tb worth of movies and shows. I own the files and can stream them to all my devices and streaming boxes. Worst part is not everything can be purchased physically. Losing access to these shows really sucks for digital preservation, sometimes streaming-only shows get cancelled and basically erased from existence if nobody ripped them. Now Best Buy is no longer selling DVDs so I have no reason to go there anymore
Just the fact that Dunkey set out to satirize streaming services, and decided the best way to do that was to create a purely informational video helping people learn how to watch what they want to watch, says more than he could have otherwise in under 5 minutes.
@@TeenPerspektiva IMO I think the made up BS detracts from the video... the joke is already made, but then saying only half the titanic movie is available on one service, second half on another, makes me immediately question every other statement and is counterproductive to his point... unless that titanic fact is real?!
He forgot to mention that depending on your region all of this changes. Like the second animated spiderman movies with miles isn't on netflix in France but in the US it is
They should just make a bundled subscription package where users can get all of these streaming services, but to make it economical then limit the stream to only one movie or show at a time per each service on a scheduled broadcast for all the viewers with ads in between. So to watch what you want you'd have to check some sort of guide menu and see when your movie or show will be streamed on which subscription channel and then tune in at that time.
I cant wait for his game publishing company to combine it with the hit Strand type game. A Strand mom type experience is what the world needs right now
@@GradietPanda12345 But they aren't, the vast majority of these services are not making a profit and are loosing these companies money. I am pretty sure even big players like Disney+ and Prime are still net losers.
This has gotta be the setup to reintroduce cable packages. "Get 50 of your favorite streaming services for only 100$! That's like $2 per million movies! What a steal!"
I was following along and I feel like he made a couple jokes/exaggerated a little... but only because I don't think Britbox would ever have Furious 5. Everything else sounded too real.
I think red letter media did the joke better and years before this one, only they were actually joking because it would be absurd to have all that complexity and so many services. Then it turns out actually being absurd doesn't stop it happening. You can only watch that sketch on RUclips TV btw....for now.
@@fleedledeedle666 Its a self-correcting cycle. Part of the reason why cable failed is because at a certain point Piracy became more convenient than cable, so many switched. Then Netflix came out and became popular due to its convenience. Now everyone is going back to piracy because of the current streaming hellscape. At a certain point this streaming phase will crash as the money dries up, and they would have to make a better system or else piracy will just win.
Blame all the idiots that ditched Netflix and gave their money to the streaming services owned by the people that wanted to keep you trapped with Cable TV's old plan. All we had to do was not cave and give money to Hulu, etc, and they would've left all their content on Netflix. Instead, idiots signed up for them after they pulled content from Netflix, rewarding them for screwing everyone over. This is all consumer-driven. This is all absolute tools giving money to terrible corporations because they can't live without being up to date on the latest Star Wars or Marvel show.
The best part is everything could be a lie and it would be too hard to know because shows/movies get traded to other platforms every other week. Which also means at some point this video will be 100% false but after enough time it could become 100% accurate again.
I assume that a bunch of it is made up, but the fact that almost no one knows or wants to take the time to figure it out says enough about how asinine all of this is.
Or just go on one site to see it all. But yeah mad props to them for having this out there. It makes me want to actually support them and use the official sites if available. :-)😊
You're all missing the point. I'm not praising accessibility, I'm praising accountability. I'm not trying to watch Pokemon. Taking the initiative to help navigate the hellscape that is streaming is a big move for a company, regardless of other avenues. Creating such a clean guide for that is and will always be praiseworthy until it becomes the norm.
Thank you so much for this guide, Dunkey. You have no idea how stressed us hockey fans were to find a place to stream the fourth and fifth Indiana Jones before Rogers NHL Live came around.
As much as this speaks to the comically bad licensing agreements from all this companies, I have to give Dunkey credit for somehow stringing all of this together. Looking forward to watching The Equaliser and Kung Fu Panda back to back twelve times!
I also love it when companies do mergers with their streaming services and STILL don't bring everything from the discontinued service over, even if they own the rights to said stuff. Sony buying Crunchyroll and removing almost all of their aniplex shows (WHICH THEY FUCKING OWN THE COMPANY FOR AND SOME WERE NOT RELEASED ON HOME MEDIA, MIND YOU) and merging Funimation's shit while STILL not bringing a lot of Funi's show's they licenced has drawn me closer to setting up a VPN and Torrent for the first time in a decade.
Or you end up with Crunchyroll half baking the Funimation English dubs on their service. Huge example is how they handle One Piece. All Crunchyroll does is add the English dub and barely includes any subtitles for Japanese text during the show itself as opposed to Funimation which has subtitles for the Japanese songs along with proper closed captions for the English dub and of course English credits during the opening/closing. At least Cruncyroll's subtitles to my knowledge for One Piece are accurate to the Japanese dialog... unlike Netflix who has decided on their subtitles to insert hot button stuff that isn't in the source material (see: New Kama changed into New Trans).
The original Sergio Corbucci Django was so popular in Italy that every random director made their own versions/spinoffs using the character and they are very shit for the most part. There was even a version (can’t recall it’s name) where the main actor quit 75% of the way through and the director found some old dude on the crew to come on screen and appear as Django’s dad, to face off with the antagonist
@@emersonpage5384 highly recommend anyone wanting to see it to watch in Italian so the subtitles.. Sergio leones movies were dubbed well, this one not so much
@@AbdulGabagool83 the Italian version is also a dub, none of the versions actually had Franco Nero speaking. In Italian he was ADRed by Nando Gazzolo and in English by Tony Russel. Most Spaghetti Westerns were dubbed over in post-production this way.
Before this video, I was using piracy to watch all my favourite shows, but this informative video has since opened my eyes and made me change my nefarious ways. Thank you, Dunkey.
this man is a savant. it's completely impossible to tell, the lines between utter bullshit and stone cold facts are blurred seamlessly into an abstract art installment 7/10, very happy you're not quitting RUclips, you'll be missed
This video genuinely sums up my journeys across multiple streaming services, right down to forgetting what I was originally looking for. Truly subversive
Ironically though there was so little on MGM I licherally only watched Bottoms twice and dipped. They're very hit or miss. I could spend a week on Netflix or Disney+
It's pretty comical that not once does Dunkey have a negative attitude or disdain in his tone, but behind the editing you know he's just sitting there thinking "wtf" just like the rest of us
Every time he finishes recording a certain section he takes the headphones off for a minute and just sits there, shedding a few tears, before recording the next maddening streaming service tidbit
@@therewasoldcringe nahh. Pirated films are usually garbage quality compared to the pristine 4k you get on Netflix. so a few years ago before this shitty pandemic streaming boom, it was defo worth the money to get a netflix subscription. now it's just chaotic crap
"The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates."
I think having a monopoly is pretty unethical, but for a while there I remember everything I ever wanted was just on Netflix and there really wasn't any other competition and it was so nice.
It never had to be that all that content was spread out like that. It could have been as simple as having different services while still providing all the content across different platforms. Hell, the only thing you'd miss out on would be exclusives. But no, they gotta rip the catalogue apart so they all have little pieces you're forced to assemble via numerous subscriptions.
The problem with a monopoly isn't that one entity controls the entire market. The problem with monopolies in the current economic system is that a handful of rich and powerful people - a handful of upper management and major investors - controo what the monopoly does. Competition isn't a magic bullet that solves all problems, its just one mechanism through which you can distribute that decision making power among a larger group of affected people. Any method of distributing that power can fix the problems monopolies bring - not just competition. Healthcare is the obvious example. In most developed countries, the government effectively has monopoly power over the entire healthcare system, and yet, unlike the one developed country with free market healthcare, healthcare isn't a massive problem in most of the developed world - because putting the monopoly under the control of a democratic government distributes the decision making power more effectively than making a handful of large corporations 'compete'.
@@firstnamelastname8439 all fair points. I’m not about to Dunning-Kruger my way though a debate on the morality of corporate monopolies because that’s kind of a mess and way beyond the scope of my expertise, but a lot of my perspective is just based on cynicism. Can a monopoly be agnostic-beneficial in some facets? Sure. But my faith in the ability for them to retain that alignment isn’t very strong.
@@mikeisfine because all they care about is money. companies have shown this time and time again. the one that's on top will always introduce anti-consumer practices and raise prices, while the ones that have to beat said top company will be the ones that introduce pro-consumer pratices and fairly low prices to get people to use their services. you can't trust them.
To be fair, there are always a good amount of shows and films to watch on Netflix at any given time (especially if you have a favourite show that is a Netflix original).
Young people will never know the joys of being able to go into a Blockbuster and rent any movie you like all under one roof, then going back later because the movie is scratched and you cant watch it.
When I was a kid, my dad and I once went to Blockbuster to rent _Road to Eldorado,_ but someone had put a tape of the Donkey Kong animated series in the box. I was heartbroken xD
Ironically, my husband actually would watch this wanting to know where to watch Godzilla vs KingKong, because he LOVES Godzilla... which makes the ending 20x funnier to me lmfao
Tubi also has almost every Godzilla movie from 1954 to 1975. It's completely free and has plenty of other weird movies nothing else has. Low-key best streaming service, Tubi.
As an avid Godzilla vs King Kong fan myself, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this in-depth, knowledgable, and incredibly helpful guide that lets me know where I can watch Equalizer 2.

The Marvel rights are a migraine minefield. Let's have a stroll...
- Marvel sold a licence to Sony to use Spider-Man and adjacent characters, including Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman who actually has as much to do with Spider-Man as Black Widow.
- Sony made the Raimi trilogy.

- Back to Spider-Man. Consider the X-Men negotiations when Spider-Man goes exclusive for PlayStation games.

Remember, Fox had to get back around the table with Marvel to do that with X-Men. Sony is also developing other "Spider-less" shows, like a Spider-Man Noir one, which will apparently not star Spider-Man Noir (and obviously no other Marvel heroes, because rights).
- Talking about theme parks. Universal owns the Marvel theme park license in the US East of the Mississippi, but only based upon the comics and only for certain characters (it's why Walt Disney World has that Guardians rollercoaster at Epcot). There's also some weird nitpicky thing going on about who can mention "Marvel". As part of the deal Universal has to keep their Marvel land and rides to a certain standard otherwise they lose the license (this probably also goes for their The Simpsons land). (It's why the Marvel area looks pristine, while something like Suess' Landing is in disrepair.) Disney actually has people walking around for inspection, from time to time. Universal also has a theme park license for Japan, but the Spider-Man ride is shutting down there. A curious development that may open up Marvel possibilities for the Tokyo Disney resort, but what happens there is up to the Oriental Land Company who owns it and has a license to Disney stuff. (If you ever wondered why things are so different in Tokyo compared to the US or Europe, that's why. Disney also has a minority stake in the Chinese parks.) Meanwhile, there's a Marvel land at Dubai's IMG Worlds of Adventure, which includes an Avengers darkride, a Hulk disc ride and a Thor spinner. That's a deal made before Disney bought Marvel.
@@EspenSGXall true and interesting but Spectacular Spider-Man isnt a sequel to anything in the Raimi trilogy. Its a completely different story but it makes a lot of refferences to the raimi movies. And its a true shame how that cartoon got killed, because its the best piece of cartoon spider-man content in the modern age.
Some of my favorite Dunkey videos are the ones where he doesn't even make the jokes, he just reads off absurd but true statements that are made even more comedic by his voice and cadence.
Truth is stranger than fiction. 😅

im sure he often cherrypicks really heavily in this sort of video, but Man is he good at cherrypicking
@@tiddly5he still definitely presents it in a specific way to make it funnier, like mentioning that John Wick is kinda like Hitman, it's not really relevant but it serves to exaggerate how convoluted and confusing the streaming services are

I grew up as a pirate, I joined the common man and got myself a few streaming services. I like it, it was better with load of shows, I was even willing to pay $5 to rent newer movies on youtube/google, but its gotten so out of control, that pirate life is calling me back
Me too
Me too matey arrrrr
Same, except so many ISPs send you cease and desists now if they catch you even using torrent software.
Sure, you can use VPNs, but free ones suck and if you're paying a VPN subscription to pirate stuff you've kind of lost the plot on that one...
@saikimakyu You get to keep it forever though. And pick and choose whatever you want that anyone is seeding. And come on, Mullvad is €5 a month, you can't seriously compare that with what these streaming services are charging, especially if you need several of them to get what you want.
@@saikimayu Don't use torrents, use usenet. Better selection, scene releases, no uploading.
How did they make piracy easier to understand than actually paying for shows
Bro I use one app and it streams torrent files.
Pair that up with how easy scraping metadata is from files and you can BUILD your own streaming service with less steps than it takes to watch pokemon with no seeding BS or VPN subscriptions.
They didn't. Youre NOT entitled to everything. If you dont want to pay for it, dont steal it. Super easy to understand. Only reason to pirate anything is if you have no self control and you don't care at all that you are effectively stealing from those of us that actually pay for the service. They cant make content unless there are people who pay for it. Grow tf up.
I HAVE a netflix account and still I'm downloading netflix movies on bittorrent because if you watch on browser, you won't get better than 720p, even if you pay for more and if I install the Netflix App on PC, it somehow disables my sound system (!?) and the 1080p is a really bad 1080p stream? It's so dumb.
WTF?
The only reason I still pay for netflix is because my girlfriend watches it on tablet all the time but man do they suck now.

Idk if anyone else has started to do this, but the rise of these streaming services locking out content has just led me to start rebuilding a robust DVD and blu ray collection. I genuinely get a kick from rummaging through bargain bins in stores to try and find old movies I used to enjoy. You get permanent access to the content, on demand whenever you want, for usually an insanely low one time price. Honestly the concept of streaming services is just stupid now.
Yes! I have started doing that too! Also with CDs partly because I just like them, but also cause they can disappear suddenly I imagine
Yeah physical media is nice because you actually own the thing. Unlike streaming where you pay a monthly bribe to have a viewing license.

I grew up pirating, never stopped
RUclips keeps hiding my comment listing off those pirate sites.
I like how neatly he put the point of the video at the very last sentence:
"Buy the bluray to watch it"
Truly the only way you can confidently own your favourite piece of media is by having a physical copy, let it be a bluray disk, a pirated copy saved on your hard drive, a literal videotape, etc.
Physical copies might become unplayable. I had vhs tapes, but nobody produces vhs players anymore, so I can't easily watch them, because this means buying a second hand machine, which are limited in supply, and might break. I feel the same is happening with dvds now, since I got a new laptop and it has no dvd input.
Therefore, you either pirate a digital copy, or, if you want to be really safe in case storing files somehow becomes "outdated", actual film and a projector (ok, maybe that's too far lmao just pirate).
Thanks Dunkey, my DVD collection of Diamond Geezer had been cut in half right down the middle of the disc, and as such I only had the latter 12 minutes of every episode. This makes things so much easier!
The amount of research Dunk put into this 4 minute video really makes you FEEL like you're in a modern dystopia

Media piracy isn't theft and is completely victimless. Think of it this way, just because I pirate a game, that doesn't mean the developers 'lost' a sale, as I wasn't necessarily going to buy it in the first place even if I wasn't a pirate-- a lot of older media isn't even available to stream or purchase legally leaving "illegal" piracy the only valid option. As others have pointed out, if buying doesn't count as owning anymore, then pirating isn't stealing.

All this guide has taught me is that I should never take the physical movies I own and the seven seas for granted.
You heard the myth oh seven seas having Davy Jones locker somewhere down there full of old movie casettes and best blue-rays.
Yes, I started backing up my physical discs and purchasing more blu-rays about six years ago. Back then it was mostly Netflix, Hulu, Crunchyroll, with Disney Plus on the horizon. Made a Plex server, now got about 20tb worth of movies and shows. I own the files and can stream them to all my devices and streaming boxes. Worst part is not everything can be purchased physically. Losing access to these shows really sucks for digital preservation, sometimes streaming-only shows get cancelled and basically erased from existence if nobody ripped them. Now Best Buy is no longer selling DVDs so I have no reason to go there anymore

They should just make a bundled subscription package where users can get all of these streaming services,
but to make it economical then limit the stream to only one movie or show at a time per each service on a scheduled broadcast for all the viewers with ads in between.
So to watch what you want you'd have to check some sort of guide menu and see when your movie or show will be streamed on which subscription channel and then tune in at that time.
that sounds familiar
Crazy to see dunkey create a whole new genre of movies with mom type movies. Such a legend in the community.

The fact that you can't tell when he's joking and when he's being serious really says a lot about the current state of TV.

As much as this speaks to the comically bad licensing agreements from all this companies, I have to give Dunkey credit for somehow stringing all of this together. Looking forward to watching The Equaliser and Kung Fu Panda back to back twelve times!
License owners rake in money from circling their licenses rather than licensing for years at once.
Piece of cake for someone that made the most cohesive Metal Gear Solid lore video.
I also love it when companies do mergers with their streaming services and STILL don't bring everything from the discontinued service over, even if they own the rights to said stuff. Sony buying Crunchyroll and removing almost all of their aniplex shows (WHICH THEY FUCKING OWN THE COMPANY FOR AND SOME WERE NOT RELEASED ON HOME MEDIA, MIND YOU) and merging Funimation's shit while STILL not bringing a lot of Funi's show's they licenced has drawn me closer to setting up a VPN and Torrent for the first time in a decade.
Or you end up with Crunchyroll half baking the Funimation English dubs on their service. Huge example is how they handle One Piece. All Crunchyroll does is add the English dub and barely includes any subtitles for Japanese text during the show itself as opposed to Funimation which has subtitles for the Japanese songs along with proper closed captions for the English dub and of course English credits during the opening/closing. At least Cruncyroll's subtitles to my knowledge for One Piece are accurate to the Japanese dialog... unlike Netflix who has decided on their subtitles to insert hot button stuff that isn't in the source material (see: New Kama changed into New Trans).

Every time he finishes recording a certain section he takes the headphones off for a minute and just sits there, shedding a few tears, before recording the next maddening streaming service tidbit
Thank you for letting me know to make sure to buy everything in VHS
Real hipsters buys everything on Beta Max.
Thank you for the DJANGO breakdown!
2012-2018 was the peak streaming era where just having Netflix was enough to watch most movies or shows
Ye and Hulu was the other half of movies. Now there are unlimited streaming services
and yet piracy was still better
@@therewasoldcringe nahh. Pirated films are usually garbage quality compared to the pristine 4k you get on Netflix. so a few years ago before this shitty pandemic streaming boom, it was defo worth the money to get a netflix subscription. now it's just chaotic crap
@@god-of-war-fannot true, they have remuxes on the interwebs
The feeling of shock you’d feel when your chosen show or movie wasn’t on Netflix, you’d feel like you were in a dream or something
"The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates."
But that would require thought and effort. Can't have that, too busy making money.
Gaben truly understood gamers
How many more years and how many increasingly convoluted subscription services will it take before any of these companies understand this, I wonder
Thanks to this video i realized i needed to buy HBO Max so i could finally watch every single Godzilla movie like i always wanted. Thank you dunker
2 words , Stremio+Real Debrid. Look it up and thank me later.
I have to say, you are probably the smartest person i’ve seen on youtube
Thank you dunk for inventing the first “stream-type” video. Incredible.
FELLOW STROLLING STEW SPOTTED
I love that this joke keeps coming back
the first mom-type video
I think having a monopoly is pretty unethical, but for a while there I remember everything I ever wanted was just on Netflix and there really wasn't any other competition and it was so nice.
It never had to be that all that content was spread out like that. It could have been as simple as having different services while still providing all the content across different platforms. Hell, the only thing you'd miss out on would be exclusives. But no, they gotta rip the catalogue apart so they all have little pieces you're forced to assemble via numerous subscriptions.
The problem with a monopoly isn't that one entity controls the entire market.
The problem with monopolies in the current economic system is that a handful of rich and powerful people - a handful of upper management and major investors - controo what the monopoly does.
Competition isn't a magic bullet that solves all problems, its just one mechanism through which you can distribute that decision making power among a larger group of affected people.
Any method of distributing that power can fix the problems monopolies bring - not just competition.
Healthcare is the obvious example.
In most developed countries, the government effectively has monopoly power over the entire healthcare system, and yet, unlike the one developed country with free market healthcare, healthcare isn't a massive problem in most of the developed world - because putting the monopoly under the control of a democratic government distributes the decision making power more effectively than making a handful of large corporations 'compete'.
@@firstnamelastname8439 all fair points. I’m not about to Dunning-Kruger my way though a debate on the morality of corporate monopolies because that’s kind of a mess and way beyond the scope of my expertise, but a lot of my perspective is just based on cynicism.
Can a monopoly be agnostic-beneficial in some facets? Sure. But my faith in the ability for them to retain that alignment isn’t very strong.
@@mikeisfine because all they care about is money. companies have shown this time and time again. the one that's on top will always introduce anti-consumer practices and raise prices, while the ones that have to beat said top company will be the ones that introduce pro-consumer pratices and fairly low prices to get people to use their services. you can't trust them.
If only the competition was about the underlying streaming tech and service and not a race to see who can hoover up the most licenses.
One of dunkeys best
the fact that this is real makes me cry
I remember the good old days when Netflix and Hulu got you everything.
ya know, maybe monopolies aren't so bad...
To be fair, there are always a good amount of shows and films to watch on Netflix at any given time (especially if you have a favourite show that is a Netflix original).
EXACTLY
I remember when Hulu was free.
@@electrogeek77ah, hello fellow old person.
"I don't understand why everybody went back to piracy" - Some CEO who earned a nice Christmas bonus while you got jack shit
the start made me excited because I recently watched king kong vs godzilla on tubi canada
nice to see a shout out for JustWatch at the end there, truly the lord's website
Young people will never know the joys of being able to go into a Blockbuster and rent any movie you like all under one roof, then going back later because the movie is scratched and you cant watch it.
Or tapes that haven't been rewound. 😠
When I was a kid, my dad and I once went to Blockbuster to rent _Road to Eldorado,_ but someone had put a tape of the Donkey Kong animated series in the box. I was heartbroken xD
@@DragonaxFilms ouch
And the late fees that cost more than buying the VHS/DVD lol
You couldn't get a LOT of movies from Blockbuster due to their "family-friendly" ethos. Indie shops were where it was at.
Ironically, my husband actually would watch this wanting to know where to watch Godzilla vs KingKong, because he LOVES Godzilla... which makes the ending 20x funnier to me lmfao
bruh just torrent it or watch on piracy streaming sites
Tubi also has almost every Godzilla movie from 1954 to 1975. It's completely free and has plenty of other weird movies nothing else has. Low-key best streaming service, Tubi.
As somebody with a little sister who watched way too much H20... I really appreciated that joke you made with Halloween H20 Dunk lmfao
Ayo!! This is legendary!!!
As an avid Godzilla vs King Kong fan myself, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this in-depth, knowledgable, and incredibly helpful guide that lets me know where I can watch Equalizer 2.
cool gris pic hahahha
@@samuelojedaedits thank you! Clearly you are a person of culture haha.
This feels awfully personal. I can imagine dunkey and Leia sitting down to watch a movie and then this whole mess unfolded.
i got it on VHS
As a Halloween fan, it was awesome to see Dunkey reference the sequels.
Love you, Dunk.
