I dont even try at this point. 11 dollars for shit I dont wanna watch, and there's ads anyway? Yeah, no, I'm getting in the boat.

And then they only deliver up to 720p because your device hasn't been blessed by capitalism

Really wish I knew about Jellyfin 5 years ago. So much of my money I could've redirected to a seedbox or a decent vpn service. Fuck streaming services

Just got mine set up this weekend, really works a treat! Utterly painless. Even put the client on the Roku I apparently don't own, hope the pricks somehow notice lol

Not just for the high seas. "Noah, get the boat"..... for video streaming because that's beyond redemption.

Why would you try to watch something you don't wanna watch?

You'd be surprised how many people nowadays just leave random shows or movies on in the background while they're on their phones.

Even my Dad does it, I ask what he's watching on Netflix, etc and half the time he has to check even tho he was the one who clicked on it in the first place...

I don't understand this.

If I put on something with video I want to absorb it. There's more video content in existence than I could ever watch, I always want to watch something worth watching. If it's something I've seen before them I'm rewatching because it was entertaining enough that I want to watch it again. Even if I try to ignore it, it's good enough that it'll rope me in.

Put something on and not watch it? Is it boring enough that it's not pulling you in? It's just background noise? Then why isn't it a podcast or something?

If you're ignoring it then why turn it on? Do you turn on lights in rooms you're not in? It feels... like something just above brainrot. Like it's not rotting you, but either it's not engaging or it's just background noise (with an unused visual component)
