Always wondered this too! It's more of annoyance really cause it always shows up in image searches but then you can't download the full size image without getting an account, I've actually been looking for ways to block that page in my search results.

Yeah, for me the main point is not to help US companies make money, either by paying them directly or by giving them my data which they can can sell. With open source software that's covered most of the time, especially when self-hosted.
That's cool and all but it's a tiny obscure party that got 0.0% in the recent elections (they did get some votes but not measurable with only one decimal), so I'm afraid their approval of this movement won't have a huge impact.
But since the software is open source you can just take it and host it yourself, so no American company involved anymore.
Relevant research that just won an ig nobel prize.
tl;dr: they don't live longer, they just don't report their dead relatives and pocket the pensions.

Germany's public broadcasting services have pretty decent streaming sites too, mostly European productions (love all those dark Scandinavian crime thrillers) but also even some US blockbusters. Unfortunately geoblocked as well but a VPN should fix that. ZDF and ARD are the two big ones and then there's a bunch of regional ones in top, however they share most their content between them so chances are you'll only need one of those pages.
Age restriction is a thing here too but only necessary until 22:00, apparently they assume kids are all in bed then and they don't need to check your age anymore. :)
EDIT: Arte is a French/German cooperation BTW, they have both French and German productions and everything gets dubbed in French/German respectively.
Sounds like any "visual bookmarking" tool would work for that. You could check out https://www.pearltrees.com/ for example (France).
