      Okay, okay, everyone knows this one. But YouTube isn’t just home to vlogs, review channels, unboxings, how-tos, gamers, and crash courses. It’s also a gold mine for web series, documentaries, short and feature-length films, animated shows, old films that are now in the public domain, plus heaps of other types of professional productions. The trick is in knowing what to look for. So we’ll break down some of the secret gems of YouTube for you and how to find them.

      Pros: Creators have the ability to place chapters in their videos, making it easy to skip past sponsors or skip to a part of the video you’re interested in.

      Cons: Constant ads across the free service both before, during, and after a video.

      Where to access: Watch for free on youtube.com or get the YouTube app for your relevant device.

      Here are the top free things to look for on YouTube:

      • Classic films: Despite being in the public domain, some old or classic films can still be hard to find. YouTube is one of the top places to find them for free. Classics from the silver screen like My Man Godfrey are readily available, as are old school westerns like McLintock.
      • Web-series: Web series had a big boom a few years back on YouTube. They are usually adaptations of classic stories told in the format of a vlog. Perhaps the most well known is Emmy-winning The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (adapted from Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice) created by Hank Green and Bernie Su.
      • Documentaries: YouTube is the place to go for more in-depth documentaries – particularly when it comes to true crime. There’s usually a lot more original uncut material to sink your teeth into compared to heavily produced shows on paid streaming services. If you think serial killers like Ted Bundy were bad, wait till you see what Netflix didn’t show you.
      • Animated shows: There are some awesome, professional animated shows available for free. Like Bee and Puppycat (now a new show on Netflix!) from the Cartoon Hangover channel. This channel is a great place to find cartoons for adults.
      • Netflix documentaries: Netflix has released several documentaries for free on YouTube since the impact COVID-19 has had on education and access to resources. You can see the playlist here. You can also get professional documentaries from channels like National Geographic.
      • Free movies with ads: YouTube now has some movies available for free through their site with ads.
      • TV Shows: Occasionally, naughties TV shows will be uploaded by the official channel or TV show YouTube profile. They are often children’s shows, like Bratz and Totally Spies or classics like Unsolved Mysteries and Hell’s Kitchen. A bunch of shows like Total Drama Island, Spongebob, Tom and Jerry and other various Nickelodeon, Disney Channel or Cartoon Network/Boomerang shows will have 24/7 full episode livestreams on their official channels.
      • Home Workouts: You can skip the gym membership or paid service with some great home workout channels on YouTube.

      Pros: A large mix of feature films, series, anime episodes, classics, and rare footage like commercials and news reports.

      Cons: Film quality can vary with some uploads being high-res and others being very low-res.

      Pros: Easy to deep dive into different eras of Australian history with access to rare footage and historical documents.

      33. Funimation (now combined with AnimeLab)

      AnimeLab has merged with Funimation to create an anime streaming service that offers free content and a premium subscription. It does come with some ads, but unlike other free streaming options, the ads are bundled together into just two groups so your viewing experience is fairly undisturbed. There is also the option to mute the ad, so you can at least avoid hearing them.

      Pros: It offers both dubbed and subbed anime options so you can listen the way you prefer. The interface is also new and smooth.

      Cons: It’s hard to tell what’s included in the free membership when you’re scrolling through the library. You have to click on the title and scroll down to see if it’s subscription access only, which can get annoying.

      Language and subtitle note: If you prefer dubbed over subbed anime, a lot of the free titles are in English dub only, with other languages restricted to paid subscriptions. On the other hand, this is a con for people who prefer subbed anime.

      Where to access: You can watch anime for free at funimation.com/shows, or get the relevant app for your device.
