The multitude of TV shows and movies can be overwhelming and extremely expensive. A better alternative is to buy a lifetime subscription outright so you never pay a penny again. While that's not possible for the likes of Disney Plus, Netflix, and the like, Curiosity Stream lets you do just that. Perfect for anyone who enjoys documentaries, there are thousands to watch in no time like $160. This one-time payment is 60% cheaper, thanks to a limited-time deal that is expected to expire in the coming days.
There are so many different ones streaming services around these days it can be difficult to keep track of them all. You probably already pay for services that offer movies, TV shows, and sports. Curiosity Stream offers an ever-growing catalog of factual content.
From history to deep space to the wilds of nature, this streaming service gives you instant access to award-winning, educational digital content. Launched by Discovery Communications founder John Hendricks, Curiosity Stream delivers documentaries covering a wide range of topics.

Why this agreement is important
The list price for a Curiosity Stream lifetime account is $400 at StackSocial, so you're saving 60% through that lens, but Curiosity Stream doesn't currently offer a lifetime option directly. A better comparison is the price of the annual plan, which is $40. So the contract price of $160 is equivalent to paying the annual price for the service for four years, so you're saving money from that point forward. You also protect yourself against any future price increases.
