Poob had announced they will be renamed to Boop later this year following the arrest of the executives.

If you rotate it around the center of the word you can also get qood. Plenty of post c-suite arrest rebranding to be had

Which opens boop up to have another post-scandal life with dooq

Will Poobies still be active? I have three Shmorks at home that would be devastated to see it go.

But the lifetime subscription to Boopies will be invalid and you need to upgrade to the new Boopies Max subscription.

The stupid name of streaming service and the exclusive right of streaming pile of shit if i'm not wrong.

59

but why are poob executives getting arrested? does it stand for some high seas website? are they based out of an authoritarian country? is this just being silly?

It's just one big meme, the names are all made up and likely don't reference any specific events.

The first part is making fun of the abundance of competing streaming services with silly names. The second part highlites that despite their big numbers, they all still fucking suck and it's nigh impossible to legally watch shows anymore

I took it as the streaming services popping up and going down faster than drug dealers and piracy sites, as if the FBI is always hot on their tail. And the licenses being passed around like they're a smuggling ring for exotic animals.

It's making fun of the weird streaming platform names like Hulu, Tubi, Mubi, Shudder, Acorn TV, Hayu, Crackle, Xumo, Pluto TV.
And the confusing world of where your favorite shows are streaming from.

Finding a place to legally watch a specific TV show has become very frustrating. Been through this with several shows. I no longer use any streaming services but it can be nearly impossible to find some shows, particularly ones that were released pre-streaming era.

I reflect on the 8-bit guy's statement when it comes to digital products:

"When [copyright holder] is unwilling to make product available for sale, I don't shed too many tears when people pirate the material."

The best subscription service is a no-logs VPN.

Illegally is near impossible too if it's something that isn't English language and isn't anime. If this is a skill issue lmk.

i was using this russian movie-web host that had an insane amount of non-english content. there were also loads of dubs for almost everything. some english shows would default to spanish or russian, but the original audio was always available too.

everything was so easy, i miss it dearly :c

ps: there’s a russian dub of shameless and the VAs are surprisingly spot on

I will say, Russia and Brazil seem to be the kings of having these archives - as a dual Spanish and English native speaker, I kind of wish something similar was happening for us lol

That's a skill issue if you are only using clearweb searches - most of the good stuff is found in forums, archives that aren't indexed by common search engines (Anna's archive for books for instance), and user groups.

If you're looking for something niche, you're probably best checking using a search engine that isn't google, and getting familiar with VPNs, torrenting, TOR and checking the files you download.

Huh. What language are you having trouble with, if you dont mind me asking?

So the show does have seasons 1 and 3 on Ceef, but season 2 cannot be found anywhere because of issues with the licensing of the theme music of that season.

Seasons 1 and 3 are also missing 1 or 2 episodes each because a guest star's royalty agreement renegotiation fell through

And then there's that one episode that's now considered problematic.

some of Shleeb’s backcatalogue is up on Flixto, but you have to VPN to Croatia

They actually patched that; you can't use a VPN anymore. I recommend watching it on Yoink.
