My insider tip – better and free

Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney + … they all have a problem and then also cost money. What bothers users as much as I do? My today’s “insider tip” reveals the matter and at the same time recommends a really cool and even free alternative for in between.

Users of streaming services know the problem and I feel no different. I now pay for three providers – Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and, most recently, Disney +. Thousands of series and films are just waiting to be discovered by me. But mostly it is difficult. Which series do you catch, is this or the other film worthwhile?

The problem becomes particularly clear when you have found something. At the end of the latest favorite series, that ghostly emptiness is waiting again. Rush into something new? Not a good idea. Better to let it sink in. But what then, what should you watch? Oh forget it, I’m going to bed early this morning. Moment …

If you need a few interesting insider tips on Netflix, you shouldn’t miss these 10 film tips in our video.

I remember long forgotten times, back then before Corona. In the past, people liked to go to cinema festivals. I was particularly impressed by Short films, the essence of the moving image.

Every film, whether 5, 15 or 30 minutes, takes me into another world. I don’t have to enter into a commitment that lasts for hours or even days like with series.

Anyone who is through with DUST, by the way, is welcome to continue browsing. So I recommend the YouTube channels “Short of the Week” and especially for horror fans “AGE” channel.
