After spending 10 years watching Netflix I've been driven back to piracy due to the amount of streaming options basically making it look like cable again. I don't want to manage my subscriptions every month to make sure I'm paying for the ones that have the shows I want to watch.

Cancelling shows, transferring shows from one to the other, moving shows from that basic plan you subscribe to into a higher tier which is even more money per month, etc.

Now I pay $20 a year for an android box that streams pirated content from every streamer and movie releases. So much easier, I would pay $20+ a month for it if it were legal.

This meme was likely made in 2017 and is no longer the case. If I have to manage and shuffle my subscriptions according to the content they’re currently showing - then it isn’t slightly more convenient but the opposite. Meanwhile piracy is as easy as typing “moviename” into Radarr and voila, 1080p ready within minutes

I put on my robe and ~~wizard~~ pirate hat

the netflix thing was the most idiotic, obnoxious bullshit i've ever seen -- really acting like using a website somewhere else was something THEY got to gatekeep and charge for. it's not like they had to mail DVDs somewhere else, like it was a physical cost.
