A company called BitMar, which promises to “stream everything legally,” is scamming people out of $150 by linking to free YouTube content via Bing search and Pluto TV. The CEO reached out, offering me a “personal lifetime membership” and hoping I would “inform my audience” about the service. I’ll be happy to inform them. Stay away from BitMar!
While the company doesn’t say it streams content from the major OTT platforms, it still uses their name in its marketing, saying: “BitMar provides easy access to more movies, and TV shows, than: Cable, Satellite, Netflix, Disney Plus, Max/HBO Max, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Peacock, and Hulu combined, and more songs, than: Pandora, Spotify, Amazon Prime Music, and Apple Music—combined.”
As expected, all of its recent reviews on the Google App Store are 1-star. Google shouldn’t allow this type of app in the store; Apple doesn’t. The fine print on BitMar’s site makes for a good laugh. “Some content may be internationally restricted. Not all content is free and/or accessible. We have a no-refund policy.”
If you are a consumer reading this post, do not pay for this service.
