Good to know. I'll keep it on my PTW list.

What's everyone's favourite BL channels
If you mean streaming platforms:
Gaga and iQiyi are indispensible and the ones I've lately been watching the most (by far).
Gaga has a vast amount of BL/LGBT content (ranging from excellent to crappy), including exclusives on a lot of good BLs, and is especially strong on JBLs - but as a technical platform, it has some weaknesses (e.g. doesn't reliably keep bookmarks and personal watchlist, grrr). The browser version hasn't worked properly on Chrome for a long time, so I use Firefox with it. Gaga recently added verticals (included in the subscription and available on both browser and smart phone app).
iQiyi has really beefed up its BL content in recent years and is a solid technical platform in terms of both reliability and functionality, including downloading for offline viewing. Verticals are included in the subscription but can only be played on the smart phone app.
Viki is a reliable technical platform with a catalogue of high-quality older BLs - and while they neglected BLs for several years, they seem to be getting back in. For a long time, my biggest gripe was the lack of speed-watching (1.5x or 2x), but they very recently added this function to the browser version, so I hope they will likewise add this to the smart phone app.
WeTV is the weakest of the four in terms of both BL content and technical functionality, but it has enough exclusives on good BL titles to justify my subscription. Forget about watching verticals on WeTV, which is a shameless money grab, even for paying subscribers, grrrr.
I don't pay for Youtube, so I endure the adverts, which (on official channels) support the BLs. I'm perfectly happy watching on Youtube, but if something is also available on one of my advert-free subscription platforms, needless to say I'll use that.
For a long time, Netflix didn't have much BL outside of certain local markets in Asia, but this is rapidly changing, especially with the very recent surge of BL titles from Domundi/Mandee and Change2561 - although these are generally also available on one or more of the above platforms. I love Netflix, but for BL it's still a secondary "me too" platform. One big plus: Easy downloading for offline viewing (e.g. while flying).
There are a few BLs exclusively on Viu Thailand (via VPN) which I want to watch (notably "Make It Right 2026", which has just started airing), but I can't stand the excessive adverts on Viu free. I'm considering subscribing for one month.
I don't like watching on illegal/pirate platforms for anything that's available to me legally, although I'll resort to fansubbers for JBLs with no international release. (If they can't be bothered to do an international release, why should I feel guilty?)

:Ordinary Love: eps 3 So I finally was able to watch episode 3 and afterwards I found my self liking it. 😱 I thought for sure this was a write off drama. Even considered dropping it because its such a hassle to watch an episode with it being pirated and having to use a VPN. But the topic of moving in together while being in a gay relationship and hardship that comes with, the sister being a sweetheart, and the effort Kei puts into the research and options. What can I say, this episode by comparison just hit right.
where are you watching it ,i remember i only found ep 1 before 🥹
There's a good fan-subber, but I'm holding off till the end in the hope that Gaga picks it up.
I'm particularly keen on "Ordinary Love" because the two leads are familiar to me from other BLs ("Punks Triangle" and "Kamisama no Ekohiiki" + "Me, My Husband, and My Husband's Boyfriend").

Speaking of JBLs I'm watching because of actors familiar from other BLs:
I'm currently watching (and almost finished) a 50-minute movie on Gaga called "We're Both Grooms". It grabbed my interest because one of the lead actors is Minoru from "Our Dining Table", which I adore - and actually I also know the other actor from a Japanese non-BL.
Anyways, I wasn't expecting much, but so far it's a reasonably nice, short watch. I'm enjoying it.
