Netflix and YouTube offer free content in quarantine

There is no doubt that the coronavirus pandemic came to change everything. One of the main modifications took place inside homes, where many people changed the way they consume content. In other words, despite home-office or remote study tasks, there is more time to watch streaming platforms.

This led to, according to what the specialized media Vandal mentions, Netflix becoming the main video streaming application during this time of quarantine. The fact that it has content that is renewed day by day made it extremely popular, although with a problem: not everyone can access it due to not having a Netflix subscription.

Being aware of this situation, the company itself decided to make an educational alliance with YouTube. The intention? That teachers and students can access educational content free of charge within the video platform, as mentioned on the Infobae website. Therefore, here we tell you what are the most important materials that are already available.
