4000+ titles for streaming (abyss.to ?) is pretty decent. I appreciate how series are organized together

A favorite source is docuwiki.net (20k+). No streaming though (torrents through related forum)

Has anyone else observed that YouTube's enforcement of copyright seems lax on old TV docs? Is it the case that TV channels simply don't bother ?

Depends what you call 'old'. In most cases anything from 1953 or older should be fine.

The popup on load saying this is a curated site with only good documentaries makes me want to know more. Who are you? What do you think is good or bad? But there's no "about us" that I can find.

Maybe they go by rotten tomatoes or imdb scores or it's just whoever runs the site's opinion and that's ok too

And immediately shows the Steve Jobs documentary.

And yet I see on the home page

* 50 Shocking Facts About Diet and Exercise * How Much Water Should I Drink a Day? * Cheating Death The Natural Way

Personally I'm really unsure about the curation

yeah i don't like that. don't censor what i watch please. who are you to tell me i can't watch conspiracy theory docs?

Doesn't archive the actual documentaries, but you can see this site if the live site isn't loading quickly.

Hug of death.

I can't figure out if they're legal or not

So I would presume it's a mix of legalities, trending towards the not side

Yes I saw that, and imagined the same unfortunately

I highly recommend watchdocumentaries.com

this is awesome, i hope they will add dark mode one day
