So I see (such as on Youtube) all these ads for Curiosity Stream… so I do a trial week at Amazon Prime…

Not so impressed. It’s the same old problem, with what happened to all those high-minded cable channel concepts that eventually turned into trash, such as the History Channel or Discovery Channel.

Overly sensationalistic documentaries… voodoo pretending to be science… Bible reifications… Hitler fetishes…. the whole thing.

Sure, a few decent history documentaries scattered among the mess, but not enough for me to pay the $6/mo subscription rate.
