Off the seven seas? Try Britbox. Relatively affordable, no ads whatsoever. They’ve got Cats does Countdown, QI, Mock the Week etc.

Britbox has all the series since the start, when Stephen Fry was presenting.

You fail to sell when you fail to timely implement desirable features. And you fail to prioritise properly when you disregard or misinterpret feedback.

None of this is better mitigated by subscription models.

they actually need to be able to consistently make pretty sizeable upgrades

Precisely! It keeps them honest. Furthermore, it forces closing the feedback loop with users. Developers need to understand what features users want most, and what bugs or usability issues need to be prioritised. Not listening to feedback means no future revenue, simple as that.

The subscription model does none of that. It’s just a greedy money-grab.

There’s actually quite a lot of software that monetises similarly to what you’re proposing. DxO and Ableton, just off the top of my head. Millions of happy users between those 2.

You get minor version updates for “free” (included in the one-time purchase). Upgrades to the next major version are discounted. Don’t need the features in the next major version? Stick with what you have for however long it works for you.

It’s by far my favourite model because it allows the developers to get paid, whilst not squeezing my neck. Everyone’s happy.

I have no experience with Jellyseer, but, in Sonarr, the Specials are unmonitored by default. You could try Monitoring them from Sonarr and theyll eventually show up in your library if you’re lucky (specials are usually harder to find than regular episodes).

Doesn’t solve your Jellyseer problem, though. Might be worth logging a ticket with the developers I suppose.

On an unrelated note, love your content choice! Who is your favourite DI? Mine’s Mooney, although I’m quite fond of Neville as well.

If I wanted to see adds, I would have gone to FB/Instagram/Reddit. Kindly piss off.
