I would love this. Not only would it be great to have a central point but often times their search is bad. Even intentionally so. Like crunchyroll makes it impossible to see whats available to a free account. You end up having to roam around until you get frusted and realize plex, freevee, pluto, tubi, roku, etc has a pretty good selection with less runaround.
That's intended. They want you to run into paid shows you might be interested in---while tech-savvy folks will realize they have better options, the average free customer will keep running into stuff they would want to watch but can't because they don't have a sub, until they cave in. If these services had a easy free-to-watch list, most of those people wouldn't even spare a glance to the paid servings, as they could just entirely avoid them.
oh im aware. expecting me to cave is not a good bet though. there are two options. they can have my eyeballs for the ads which I accept for it being free or their competitor gets it. if they all go away I will visit the library more often. they will never. ever. get a drop from me.
