Anyone ever subscribed to CuriosityStream?

Seems to get good reviews

The streaming landscape is changing fast. We're entering a new era of streaming start-ups, with an increasing number of services focusing on single-genre catalogs. Some of these, like NBC Universal's comedy streaming app Seeso, are backed by major companies. Others are stand-along enterprises trying to break into a market that's dominated by major players.

One such newcomer is CuriosityStream, the documentary-only streaming service started by the same businessman that founded the Discovery Channel. Is CuriosityStream destined for greatness? Here's our full review.

They were offering an outstanding deal last summer (something like $14.95 for an entire year). They have some interesting programming, a lot of which seems to be from foreign sources.

Now I'm waiting for a deal on the Smithsonian Channel. There's a lot of fascinating content on that streaming service.

And regular Youtube also has a tremendous amount of scientific, historic, and archeological content that can keep me occupied. It now also features full-length Zatoichi movies, which are a hoot to watch.

...probably a mistake. Wasn't very impressed.

I might give it a shot again once I'm bored with Disney+
