Should be renamed things you may absolutely hate
Would prefer to never have to see his eminently punchable face again, but truth’s a good start I guess 🤷
Hulu instead shows you the latest episode of a serial show, hopefully there isn’t massive spoilers
I’m more surprised it doesn’t fail to load. Fuck Hulu and their shitty player.
What?
It’s recommending Bill Maher because they watched Last Week Tonight.
Bill Maher sucks. Last Week Tonight fucks.
Most people watching Last Week Tonight are not going to also be Bill Maher fans.
I used to be a Bill Maher fan (like in my teens) his smugness was really off-putting though so I ignored them.
Religulous would have been more fun if he wasn’t such a prick in it. His outro was annoying AF.
Bill Burr said he was on the side of the student protestors calling for an end to the Palestinian genocide. Then Bill Maher said (I’m paraphrasing) that it’s the same as being pro-Hamas. Fuck Bill Maher.

What a slap in the face. Maher and MAX can eat shit.
Dunno, seems like a solid recommendation, those are the two weekly HBO shows I watch.
I don’t always enjoy Maher, but he occasionally has a good show and has some valid points. But I’m not one of the bleeding heart liberals.
Bill went bad. He was okay until we found out what he really believes.
Even before that, I couldn’t stand him tbh. He’s probably one of the most smug people in the entire world.
He makes Jeremy Clarkson and pregnant women look like Keanu Reeves and Dolly Parton
dude, comparing Clarkson to Keanu? that’s a low blow, but whatever. i gotta say something about comparing pregnant women to Dolly Parton though. Dolly doesn’t deserve that. I’d like to think we’re better than that here on lemmy.

I was contrasting the smugness of Clarkson with the total lack of same of Keanu, which is eminently apt IMHO 🤷

Again, I was contrasting the extremely smug with the not at all smug.
I was complimenting Keanu and Dolly, not condemning them.

Off topic, but The Newsreader is actually quite good!Edit: nvm, I can’t readTurns on VPN for Brazil. yt-dlp the weekly episode. Place on Jellyfin media server. Rejoice.
Where is yt-dlp finding full episodes?
They post them to you tube after they air but they are region locked. Just find a vpn in South America and you can watch it (or download it)
God I despise that little neoliberal worm.
Might I interest you in a podcast?
You may 😁
What’s the problem
The cool old man putting kids in their place.
Unexpected SNL
You got the “old” part right, at least 🤷
It’s another HBO-sponsored newstainment show focusing on politics. Don’t get me wrong, fuck Bill Maher, I understand why you’re bothered, but from a programming standpoint it absolutely makes sense that this would be the next aligned recommendation.
Nice try, Bill Maher
I wish they’d let us hide shows like you can hide channels on YouTube
You can’t hide channels on YouTube without a 3rd party addon. YouTube kept suggesting me videos from channels I think unsubscribed to until I did that.
To stop YouTube from suggesting a specific channel, follow these steps:
- Open YouTube on your device.
- Hover over a video from the unwanted channel on your homepage or sidebar.
- Click the three dots that appear next to the video title.
- Select “Don’t recommend channel” from the dropdown menu
That doesn’t stop it for me.
Maybe try opening the yt app on your tv amd doing it through that UI. Could be your desktop browser’s anti-tracking is messing it up.
I only use yt though a web browser or through Grayjay. I don’t even have a smart tv. If the 3rd party antitracking stuff is messing things up, I’ll fix it with other 3rd party stuff.
Well it seems like that’s not working for you lol
No, the 3rd party blocker is working just fine. Before that, I would select “Not Interested” or “Don’t recommend this channel” and it would remove certain channels for a while, but eventually the algo decided that I wanted to see those “high engagement” channels.
I’m jumping into downvote pool but yolo - I kind of like Bill Maher. I don’t agree with him on everything, let’s say I disagree with like 30% of his points. But rest of it is kind of on point? And that’s fine, I don’t have to agree with people on everything. Actually that’s one of the points I liked from him - to learn to disagree. In today’s polarized world that’s a surprisingly refreshing idea. On the other hand I fundamentally disagree with him on Covid-19. So yeah. Also I find myself laughing at his jokes quite a lot, he has good writers imo
I think I fall in the same camp of agreeing with a good chunk of his points while disagreeing with others and I even have laughed at many of his jokes. And I’m totally fine with that for people I enjoy watching. However, what turned me off of Bill Maher a decade ago was his overall manner and attitude. He just started coming across as arrogant, obnoxious, smarmy, and untimately unkind, even when I agreed with him, which I did not enjoy. It was much in contrast to other satirists who may have mocked people, never felt like they were out to denigrate. Maybe his content has changed, but I haven’t noticed.
delete your opinion loser /s
I haven’t paid him much attention the last few years but that’s always been how I’ve felt about him.
Even if he’s wrong half the time, at least he thinks for himself. That’s a quality I respect in people, which is sadly lacking these days. People are right about his arrogant attitude though. Probably why I stopped paying attention to him.
On cable as long as you had a DVR you could skip every commercial. With streaming, ads are baked into the experience and commercials can be made unskippable. It sucks.

Aint it great when paying gets you a worse experience.

Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.
You can see it here live. OP’s problem is not the price but that the service is shit, and the only solution you can see in this thread is piracy.
From 2013 to 2020 I didn’t have bittorrent installed anywhere, and paid for Netflix, NowTV, and Crunchyroll. Then the enshittification kicked in, and now most of what I watch is from bittorrent.
