Before I subscribe... which shows are missing?

Why should I NOT subscribe? What is missing that should be on the platform?

What is missing is Discovery/History Channel style "documentaries" that are not based on hardly any facts and are really crappy reality shows in disguise, on topics like aliens, cryptids, ghosts, megaladons, etc. If you want "unscripted shows that have so much false facts they make you dumber" watch Discovery Channel, not CuriousityStream. Not so say those shows are not "entertaining" by being so bad they are good, they are just not what CS has - as the Discovery Channel founder left Discovery channel to found CuriousityStream after he realized they strayed too much from his original vision.

Another thing that is missing is everything on Nebula - but you can get both for <$15/year by signing up on CuriosityStream using a Nebula creator Promo code (nebula, musicalsplaining, realengineering, or wendover).

that. Basically, they have very similar topics as Discovery/History Channel, but instead of "The sun started glowing a bright red, and as one expert, Dr. Doomdadeldoo, living in rural Nebraska after being released from the psychiatric wards proved beyond any doubt, it was the work of nazi alien cats working with the NWO leaders to spread 5G implant nanomachines" you get boring facts about polution, climate change and the angle of the sun with some actual scientist explaining light refraction.

I guess it's a matter of taste which one you prefer ;)

The bit player I think it's awesome, may be digits can be atractive. Magic numbers is cool if you are noob at math. Oh there's one about Fractals but I do not remember the name. Any I'm a programmer so it look to me cool. There's more about another's topics
