EDIT : I am using pipepipe which is a really good client for youtube without ads and bullshit but with added features like downloading anything, better search etc . Adding this because a comment told me the downvotes were because it feels like i'm seeking ads .

I used to have a good enough list so that not much got released without me knowing but i lost it . I have subscribed to some i remember (attached image incase someone has use for it ) but i'm sure i'm missing a lot so do recommend .I like watching trailers in my freetime and if it clicks puts into my watch later list and watch it when i get time . I also have a24 and 20th century studios which didn't got on this list .

PS : I don't care about the nationality of the movie or tv shows that the channel releases trailers of but i'm looking for shows/movies in english or atleast a dub .

Edit : Why the downvote ? Wrong sub ?

I'm assuming the downvotes are because you're asking lemmy where you can seek out advertisements whereas the general consensus of this website seems to be fuck advertisers

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

How ? I won't see any ads as i am using pipepipe which doesn't have any because its a third part client for youtube .

[–] [email protected] 44 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Movie trailers ARE the advertisements

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (3 children)

sigh there are times when lemmy get too extreme even for me .

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago (3 children)

I mean, that's not an extreme definition of advertisement. Trailers ARE movie ads. That was their original intent and ONLY purpose.

If you don't realize that, then you really do deserve those downvotes.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago (1 children)

But he is also right that Lemmy gets too extreme.

I don't mind if ads were for things I'm actually interested in. An ad for the new Deadpool movie? I might have not known it was coming out. An ad for a new esp32 microcontroller? Also nice.

What the user is asking for is exactly how ads should be. Let me go somewhere when I'm looking for ads and show me ads.

Don't show me ads when I'm not looking for them.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

true, let people search for ads that they want

Piping in with some odd history info. They were originally made to give theater patrons something to watch while the main film was re-wound. Theaters used to play the same movie on repeat all day until they got a new film, then it was that movie all day. There were no "move times". If you showed up midway you just stayed until it repeated so you could catch the beginning. Also why news reels and other visual media would get played.

Psycho made the change to set times. Hitchcock did not want anyone to accidentally see the end without starting from the beginning. Shortly after that those movie trailers got bastardized into the ads we now know them as.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

But some people like them? The anticipation is part of the experience for them.

I am not that kind of person but why not let them have their fun?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Oh no, by all means. I channel surf trailers when I'm bored. But we should at least acknowledge what they are: ads.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I have no idea what everybody seems to have against your will to see movie trailers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

i mean he's literally not wrong. they're heavily used as advertisements and their role is as promotional material.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Looking at your list you're missing

Warner Bros

also Rotten Tomatoes has a good channel for recent trailers

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

I was not aware you can be behind on advertisements

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I just subscribe to Rotten Tomatoes Trailers

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

If you don’t care that they are reuploading content, you can follow channels that specifically upload trailers. I don’t have a suggestion at the top of my head but I’m pretty sure there are channels out there that do that. Maybe search for channels that have “trailers” in their name.
