We use this. It's great to filter out swearing from things we watch with our kiddos. When you go through the filtering itself, each individual instance is seen in the filter with a quick description of what it is. So you can choose to filter out what you think is acceptable for the age of your children (e.g. leave in the nudity of a woman sitting/posing for art students while removing a sex scene, removing stronger curse words or racial slurs while leaving most of the others, or removing absolutely everything so that Pulp Fiction is now a 15 minute clip). I've also heard that they have a Jar Jar Binks filter so that you can watch the Prequel trilogy without him in it, but I cannot confirm that.

My only complaint with the service is that you cannot use captions when you filter. We have captions run on everything we watch, but that's not an option with VidAngel.
Imagine being triggered by a service that keeps others from being triggered.
Mah man, take this somewhere else. This has nothing to do with Chappelle--completely different demographics. This service is for those who want it.

I, for one, despise gratuitous nudity and sex scenes (i.e., soft porn) that add no value to the stuff I like to watch. Take Altered Carbon, for instance.

I don't have VidAngel, but I am grateful it exists.

This is a great content filtering service for Netflix, Prime Video, and Apple TV+. I love that I can create custom filters and profiles for shows and movies for my kids to view.

I think that was CleanFlix, which did get sued into nonexistence. VidAngel is similar, but they must have found a legally safer way to do the same thing. As long as there's demand for this stuff, and there is plenty, these services will always be around.

This is a great service! I've been using for a couple years. You can select what you want to filter. It's also great news for their business. It used to be only Netflix and Amazon Prime. They are adding more channels and the quality if getting better. A couple things to be aware of:
1) You can't watch any 4k movies you purchased with it (their server is BluRay quality and not 4k.)
2) Sometimes when you stop a movie and come back to it later, it doesn't work.
3) The fast-forward option is frustrating with the firestick. I have to keep clicking it vs holding it down for a fastforward.

Still, a great option to utilize. Especially if you don't want to subject your kids to the filth of this world!

They did get sued and they lost. That was back when they were streaming movies for a buck without a license to stream. Their model was that you "bought" the movie on DVD for $20 (and vidangel did have the DVD), they would stream to you with your choice of what you wanted edited out (language, sex, violence, etc) then you sold it back to them for $19. So you were effectively streaming for $1.

The court found against them with giant fines, which VidAngel has paid or negotiated away. For example, they entered into an agreement with Disney Studios to stop trying to find a way to edit and stream any of their properties.

They have a new model now. You have a streaming service that you are paying for. You subscribe to VidAngel which runs what you stream through their filters (that you select).

If I'm getting any of this wrong, please set me straight.

To add my "2 cents" as a user - I absolutely love this service.
Pros
(a) VERY detailed control of what you watch - It divides potentially objectionable material into very fine categories that you can control. This is a HUGE plus as everyone has their own personal thresholds of what they find objectionable. For example, instead of simply filtering out "sex" or "violence"- they spell out in every show exactly what types of instances occur, and you pick what you want to see. You can also set defaults, so that you don't have to do so for each show, and only adjust shows that you feel should be handled differently.
It allowed me comfort to show Game of Thrones at a level that I felt was appropriate. The omissions are seamless - and usually go unnoticed.
My criticsms -
(a) it doesn't have 4k (only 1080p) - if it had that to me it's a no brainer.
(b) price - $10/mo is reasonable for what they are offering IMHO, however on top of regular subscription fees it's not something that I want to pay. Easier just to only show material without concern (not as many "must see" shows like Game of Thrones). The $5 sale is much more paletable. In addition, in the past they had a pay what you want promotion.
Social Commentary - I respect the directors rights to have their works of art seen as they intended. However, in the same way that their vision expects a certain aspect ratio (e.g. movie theater widescreen) and audio and picture quality. However, this doesn't forbid you from watching it on your 5" phone screen or old TV set. Similarly, their vision doesn't require you to not talk on the phone, or even skip parts if you have to go to bathroom or other need. i.e. you have the choice to watch it as the director intended to get the full effect or not. Their vision doesn't preclude you from watching it how you choose to watch it. Likewise, you should be able to skip parts that you find objectionable.
