It has commercials but hey, free is free. A few other select episodes are free if you scroll below.
I love this episode, Farengi greed and silliness in all of its glory.

I thoroughly enjoyed that episode...
Shakespeare, it ain't... but it was a lot of fun!

I only really watched DS9 in the past few years, despite being a Trek fan. I watched the first couple of seasons off and on when it originally aired and couldn't get into it. A good friend and my son convinced me to do a full-series watch, so we did (via Netflix) starting about two years ago.
The Ferengi, whom I really disliked from TNG, became my favorites. The ones that focus on Quark, Nog, or Rom are my re-watch episodes. And "The Magnificent Ferengi" is probably the best of the group.
Bonus: any episode that features Brunt bursting in, announcing himself: "Brunt - F.C.I." (Brunt is played by Jeffrey Combs, who's played a number of characters, human and non-human, on various Trek outings. There was a joke rolling around the Star Trek subreddit some time back that, in the upcoming STAR TREK DISCOVERY series, he would play every character.)
And as freeradical points out, Iggy Pop is in it, and delivers some great dialog.

DS9 fans that never missed a minute were nerdy antisocial dweebs.
Maybe a few stoners mixed in.

I LOATHED the whole idea of the Ferengi at the start of DS9... hated them as poorly conceived, poorly fleshed out, and poorly acted (in season 1)....
Boy, did Armin Shimmerman, and all the other actors that played Ferengi, and the writers and directors, do a great job in turning that around!
And I would start a campaign right NOW to have Jeffrey Combs made a regular, or at least a recurring character, on ST: Discovery.

One of the reasons I *really* wanted ENTERPRISE to continue (besides how well Manny Coto was turning the show around in S4) was Comb's Shran (the Andorian).

Shran has to be one of the single finest characters in all of Trek history...
There was no "warming up" period as with most other new-race characters - Combs hit the ground running, with a nearly fully developed sense of what an Andorian was, and how that should be "done".
And yes, Enterprise was FINALLY being pulled out of it's nose dive into the toilet when the plug was pulled.
It REALLY could have shaped up into a very fine show.
