Throughout my youth, growing up to the latest trends of cartoons and television shows was essential to my childhood. In retrospect, I would find myself planted in the living area, roaming through the TV guide endlessly as I search for anything that may interest me and the majority of the virtual entertainment that did were dated way beyond my years. Beginning with animated films that revert to the 90s like ‘Recess’ and ‘Dexter’s Lab’ to popular sitcoms stemming from the 80s like ‘Family Matters’ and ‘Gimme a Break!’, these were televised programs that I advanced into watching even up until today. Typically, you wouldn’t get many of these telecasts on television anymore, so what do I do? I stream and watch them online. Immediately, television began to decline, fading out of my life little by little as the years went on. Now I practically watch everything on my cellular device at times when I am either bored or simply just want to pass the time. Presently, there are two major sites that I turn to in these critical times: YouTube and F-Movies. 


At one time YouTube’s sole purpose was to stream music videos up until I started to browse through the trending videos that would unexpectedly appear on my homepage. Unwittingly, my view time rocketed from a few minutes to hours and increased once I was offered a ‘golden ticket’ to watch unlimited videos ad-free. This enabled me to watch whatever I wanted without any disturbances. Generally, I will watch genres of videos such as family/teen vlogs, pranks, challenges, and anything else that may catch my attention. I had grown accustomed to watching mukbangers like ‘Nikocado Avocado’ (before he went mad), individuals who would post themselves gulfing down an enormous display of food in one sitting, and I’d watch to see if they would actually finish it all. Though, I eventually dropped out of the mukbang community considering the only satisfaction I got out of it was hunger. What’s more, I tend to stream on YouTube while in the midst of falling asleep. I’ll choose any random, lengthy video and will let it play in the background since I absolutely cannot sleep in total silence (it bugs me).


For those who are unfamiliar with this site, F-Movies is much like ‘Netflix’, ‘Hulu’, and many other well-branded streaming services; however, F-movies is completely free of charge. I figured why pay for a subscription for something that I'd hardly ever use. Not only will you be saving money, but you’ll also be given total admittance to a vast database of over 20,000 feature films and 5,000 sets of programs of high quality with no registration needed. Their database is constantly updated to present new content day-to-day, which makes searching for your favorite movie or series so much easier. In my case, what I found to be the most important is the variety of films they provide whether it’s the latest or the most classical screenplays. F-movies is also mobile adaptive, you can stream on your phone as well as your TV, whichever you prefer. Aside from the fast and free streaming, the great quality, being mobile responsive, F-movies (like any other service) have their flaws, one being the minimal invasion of pop-ups and ads.
