Free ad-supported movie and TV streaming

About Tubi

Tubi provides a free streaming service that allows users to watch a large selection of movies and TV shows without any subscription fees. The platform operates on an ad-supported model, meaning that while users can access content for free, they will see advertisements during their viewing. This approach makes Tubi appealing to individuals who are looking for quality entertainment without the costs associated with services like Netflix or Hulu. Tubi primarily targets a diverse audience, including budget-conscious consumers and those who prefer streaming over traditional cable TV. Currently, Tubi operates in the United States and is working on meeting GDPR requirements to expand into European markets. The company's goal is to offer accessible entertainment while generating revenue through advertising partnerships.
