    Not sure if it’d work on Netflix but my wife were pleasantly surprised to A&E and History apps on our apple tv suddenly forgetting how to do ads after I set up adguard home with a few extra filter lists…I did have to ok a few things the list blocked. But the apps work and seem to be adless, at least for now.

      You could just ditch all those apps and get Stremio with a Real-Debrid subscription. You can stream any content from any provider for ~$3/mo (including Netflix, A&E, History, Disney+, HBO Max, Prime Video, etc.) Ad*-free, of course.

      Basically R-D works by downloading torrents to a dedicated server, so you can stream them instantly using a Netflix-like interface on your TV/tablet/PC/phone (via Stremio). And since they’re direct downloads, you don’t have to wait for seeds, nor do you need a VPN. It’s like having a seedbox except anyone can add any torrent to it (and not just videos, but literally any torrent can be downloaded instantly).

      Sorry if this reads like an ad, but I really want more people to know about this. There’s a better way than paying for a bunch of streaming services, or waiting hours for people to seed. Or signing up for a private tracker and having to constantly worry about keeping your seeding ratio up.

          And paying for it with a card with your name on it might be a bad idea…

          EDIT: VPN or Usenet might be better and there are also pretty good tools.

            You can always pay with Monero, which is completely anonymous if used correctly.

            But I’m almost scared to mention this, given how much Lemmy hates crypto.
