I love not being bombarded by ads thanks to pihole and adblockers. I don’t have cable TV either. But without browsing netlifx/Hulu/etc. how do you actually find stuff to watch and discover worthwhile shows and movies to rent from my library?
Word of mouth. Friends. Internet.
Speaking of which, have you seen Barbie yet? I heard it’s pretty good.
Yeah Barbie is played by this really good actress! Looking forward to seeing her in more stuff!
Overseer if you use plex and jellyseer if you use Jellyfin.
Makes the content browsing experience pretty fantastic.
trakt.tv via https://github.com/1RandomDev/showly-oss and https://www.themoviedb.org/ I’d prefer a more open alternative but afaik there’s nothing that tracks movies and series at the same time.
For music, there’s https://listenbrainz.org/ but I mostly listen to the old stuff and don’t get flooded with new stuff.
I usually browse the “what are you watching” threads on the trackers I’m on, get suggestions from friends and co-workers, and my wife who still watches network TV to know what to put into my rss feed.
I bought the app nzb360 it has popular, trending new shows and most anticipated sections for TV shows. And something similar for movies.
Love this app so much. Sonarr, radarr, BitTorrent, etc all accessible in nzb360
I never buy apps, but this one was worth it
I usually browse Trakt and look for some decent lists, then add what I like to mine. The lists are hooked up to Radarr/Sonarr so I don’t have to bother manually downloading my media.
I get quite a few reccomend actions from the sci-fi/fantasy rss feeds I’m subscribed to. I also get some from suggestions on lemmy.
Back in the day I used to follow this site for entertainment news, but now mostly from YouTube. O like to watch a lot of trailers so there is always a lot on my feed. I also like vídeo lists like “Top sci-fi movies from the 90s” . Cinefix is a really good channel with that type of content.
Music is my main media and I pay Deezer specifically to recommend me stuff.
For games, I’m on an emulation streak, so top X listicles. Mostly, I’m racking my brain for things I thought were interesting but never played/didn’t finish/want to experience again.
For TV and movies (and new games), I care a lot less about and I mean a lot less, so word of mouth. If all my colleagues, family, and friends are raving about the new hotness I’ll find out.
