If you're gonna have garbage to stream, might as well put on whatever random garbage at random time automatically so I don't waste time trying to decide on stuff I ultimately don't care about.
Plus you get some live news, though mostly rightwing crap depending on where you live and also you can stream some stuff on demand
Edit: having top gear, some comedy central stuff, southpark and csi channels for reruns is neat and they don't seem to care if you use VPN to watch US/UK/Canadian content (not sure where else it's available)
That's exactly what it is, I've grown tired of streaming services, heaps of complete irrelevant content suggestions, so Pluto+torrents are much more convenient for random TV or stuff I actually want to watch and don't have to figure out which streaming service has it.
