    Not loving arte is an immediate red flag, imo. They’re one of the few reasons I have no problem in the slightest paying my GEZ.

    Currently watching Twin Peaks for the first time thanks to Arte

    I just miss the english subtitles because I don’t always understand what they are saying

      Unfortunately, you do need an account in order to watch content in daytime that is age-rated for above 16. And they ask for full-blown age verification with uploading an ID copy and performing a facescan with yoti.com, a company that on top of everything processes such data in the UK, not in the EU.

    I love it simply because it’s the near enough closest incarnation we have these day of this quote:

    We are going to use this organisation to change the way the rest of the country thinks. We want them to see stuff they don’t like. We don’t really care if they complain.

    • Hugh Greene, first director general of the NWDR (later NDR and WDR), and later the BBC

    Would be nice to see more people take this attitude in this day and age.

    I tried the site; it must not like Firefox. But I grabbed the app! I love the variety, I’m overwhelmed with choices. Thank you for the heads up, I appreciate ways of broadening my horizons

    Just grabbed the android app.

    Is there a way to turn off subtitles? They have been forced on all three things I’ve watched so far. It’s very annoying.
