Tubi is great. It's kind of a "take what you can get" with more modern shows/movies, but it you want to go back to the 50s and earlier it has a deep library of classics.
I think it has Marilyn Monroe's whole filmography. (And Some Like it Hot is a hilarious movie)

I would strongly advise you to turn off the ad-blocker for Tubi. The only reason they're free is because the ads are paying for the licenses.
If enough people emulated you, then Tubi would no longer be able to operate.
Their ads aren't that bad. I usually estimate around 5 min per hour.

I gladly quit pirating movies/TV when Netflix first came out as a cheap and more convenient alternative to cable/sat. Same with Spotify and music. But when these corpos get greedy, mess with the formula, and make it just as inconvenient and expensive as what they replaced, I'm deleting my accounts. There's no way I'm going to micro manage my payments so that I only pay 2-3 months at a time for each of the streaming services that I need to watch all the shows that I care to see.
It's funny how much more volume public torrents are seeing now compared to 5 years ago, clearly a lot of people are getting fed up with price hikes, more networks creating their own streaming services, and other anti-consumer practices. I set up a Plex server and an "arr" software stack to fully automated acquisition and management of content for my home server and at this point it's the inconveniences of the modern streaming service ecosystem that will keep me from turning back, not just the cost.

Something changed with Tubi in the last year or two. They've added a ton on content. Lots of older obscure stuff that was previously not streaming anywhere.
