Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

Streaming:

-Charges you unreasonable amount of money

-If you cancel the subscription, you lose it all

-If they change the terms, you may lose access to some of the things in your library

Torrent:

-Costs a grand total of 0$

-Allows you to retain content for eternity

-Requires a 5 second effort to enter the name of a show/film in Sonarr/Radarr

The choice is clear.

Theft removes the original, priacy makes a copy.
