The Top Streaming Services and Their Free Trials Offers | Funky Stuff (original) (raw)

Over a decade ago, streaming services like Netflix did exist, but weren’t as ubiquitous as they are today. People were still getting their media via cable companies that for decades have controlled what and how they watched with pricey, long-term commitment packages for a few preferred channels mixed with many unwanted others. The only other choice was to pick and choose channels and pay for each individually. Channels stack up quickly to an unreasonable price too. Basically, it’s a lose-lose situation for viewers.

Enter Video Streaming

Meanwhile, the internet had been ironing out the kinks of latency and quality that disrupted video streaming. YouTube made its entrance and video streaming grew in popularity so much so that people have built full-time career converting views into dollars on the platform

All of this is to say, the way we consume media has changed drastically thanks to the internet. Now, instead of TV packages with only one or two channels you prefer, you can subscribe to a streaming service that offers you an entire catalogue of TV and movies at a low monthly cost. You can watch in high-definition and without any bothersome interruptions or rushed trips to the washroom during commercials!

Choosing the Right Streaming Service for You

Hopping onto streaming can take some experimenting to see which service you prefer the most. YouTube, for example, is free to use and has years’ worth of content to watch but also has the option for a Premium experience at a monthly fee.

Every streaming service has a free-trial period that can be up to a month long so you have time to get a feel of the experience at no cost to you. Streaming services offer monthly subscriptions that you can cancel and restart for free! If you really like the service, some offer a discounted annual subscription.
