should I continue with this?
I've been working on a website where you can watch movies / tv shows for free that has no ads, no bs third party links you need to click on (every movie / tv show is already on the website), and another page where you can search up any music you want and listen

now i'm just doing it as a hobby, the website itself is very minimalistic and has no design, just straight to the point, you just search for the movie or tv show you want. My only question is should I even bother continuing with this? only reason I started working on this is because there isn't a lot of sites I've found that offer this for free or being infested with ads and having to watch the actual video on another site. I kinda feel like no one would use it and i'm just wasting my time.

btw no clue if this is the right section to ask such a question
I think it would be useful especially to people not savvy in downloading movies and such
It sounds like a really good idea! But without ads how will you get money to keep the site afloat? Donations?
I think its a great idea, how recent would the movies/tv shows be
its one hell of an idea. wouldn't mind one or two ads tho to help you keep the site running. just not those stupid pop up ads. also, dont care a lot about the user interface. as long as there is a search bar and a nice player, the ui dont matter.
Hope you keep working on it.

I'm going to constantly be adding movies and tv shows that are airing right now, and shows that have aired around the past decade, but also adding popular older shows like Friends, Seinfeld, etc.. Thank you!

The site will mostly be ran out of pocket costs, I have a few discounts on things such as web hosting, but will accept donations from generous users. Thank you for the feedback
Throw in a disclaimer to avoid DCMA takedown's. If you ever want to make it public, host it offshore "bulletproof". Just my 2cents.

Even if he does that, if it gets popular enough he'll probably still have trouble keeping it up.
having updated titles are great, will they have subs/hd quality that kind of thing?

Will try my best to have all or at least the majority of them having HD, but if not it will be the best quality I can get. Subs aren't added right now but will most likely be added in the future.

True I can't wait to release it to the public!
Where you plan to store your movies? locally or cloud?
Its a great idea but not sure how long you can sustain without an income source because im sure your server cost will be high once the visitors starts to stream the videos. But you can always monetize the site without having annoying ads. Try to find few good affiliate products to promote you will need some $$ rolling in.
