final thoughts
tubi is free to use and always will be for the foreseeable future, as they are monetized through ads that run while you watch their content.
if someone asks you to pay for tubi, they are wrong, and recently there have been scams that make you pay to use tubi or roku, which is provably false.
If you ever have problems with the app, try restarting the app and the TV or other device you’re watching just in case to try to fix the problem.
