YouTube is now streaming James Bond movies for FREE (in the US)

Why does YouTube have all these James Bond movies streaming for free?

Well, it’s definitely good promotion forJames Bond— especially during the pandemic. Having the videos easily available on YouTube would make it easy for families to simultaneously watch them wherever they are.

On top of that, it’s telling that all theJames Bondmovies that are free-to-watch are from before 2000. One assumes that MGM has already made a huge amount of bank from those films, and the ad-revenue from streaming them on YouTube is a nice cherry on the top.

Still, with things like this, it’s sometimes good not to overanalyze, and instead just enjoy the fact that we can access a lot of quality(-ish) entertainment for the very reasonable cost of no money at all.

Head on over here to check out the freeJames Bondmovies on YouTube. This is the part where I make a pun.
