Dekkoo is a Philadelphia-based subscription streaming service with a focus on LGBT+ related content, particularly by and for gay men.[1][2] It features a mixture of programs from other sources and original content,[1][3] and derives its income from subscription fees rather than advertising.[4] It is available on streaming devices such as Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Amazon Fire.[5]
The service was co-founded in 2015 by Derek Curl and Brian Sokel.[1][2] The launch followed the 2014 acquisition of TLA Entertainment Group in 2014. [6]
According to Sokel, the name is based on a Hindi slang word, "dekka", which he said means "take a glance at something" and they thought the name "Dekkoo just sounded cuter."[7]
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the company launched a short-film contest.[8][9][10]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
