You can subscribe to individual accounts and get notifications when new material arrives, but there is no way to subscribe to YouTube “in whole”.

There is YouTube Premium that costs about 12 buck a month but most stuff is not on Premium.

There’s a lot to sort through, but I’ve found some pretty interesting things. And free. I also use Kanopy, free through my library.

What a dummy I am! Just have to figure out how to use it, now!

They do show that they have the film I'm looking for - Running Brave, about Billy Mills, 1964 Gold Medal Winner at Tokyo Olympics in 10K meter long distance race. Lakota tribal member, compelling story.

Thanks!!

*unfortunately they used a White actor in the title role, however! SMDH!

You can sign up for other paid providers thru Amazon Prime, just one click to try for a month, and since it is thru amazon there is no need to create a whole membership account in the service you sign up for.
So I add a new " channel" watch the available shows I want to see, cancel it, and try another one.

Right now I am watching the Topix channel, they have some things I've been looking for. when I have seen them, I will drop topix and maybe get HBO, it's been a couple years since I have seen their shows.

Can't remember if Amazon carries IMDB.....I do notice that more and more channels/carriers are coming on line every week or so...

Yes - I really appreciate the free stuff from my library - I didn't think to check but will!

Here - in trade for your really good ideas: did y'all know you can get the NY Times free from your library? I assume so - I can!

Thanks again!
