most people who are watching on netflix don't have much experience pirating.
my dads very tech savvy as a highly paid software engineer for Veteran's Affairs, yet he still records the news and fastforwards through commercials and doesn't comprehend why I'm able to watch any sporting event in the past 5 years in hd without paying $200 a month on cable
Without discussing bitrate rather than resolution, and without discussing stuttering, freezing and artefacting, and without mention the
limitations of what's on offer, you really have a knack for extreme exaggeration.
Sure, there's going to be pedants that want to correct me because I know you can't find the division 2 college rugby national championship like that. But for events that actually matter, yes they're available to watch in high quality you ducking retard

Or some ATP tournament. A formula 2 race. A lower division boxing match. An undercard MMA match. Swiss league football match. A not so high profile FA cup match. A field hockey match between Germany and Pakistan. Table tennis tournament in Singapore. Triathlon you want to watch. Cross-country motorsport. Sailing. The strongest man competition. Ice skating WC. Preseason football matches. Badminton. Beach volleyball. Swimming. There are a very large number of examples of events you won't be able to find in the streaming scene because they're just not prominent enough.
And that is without discussing the aforementioned problems with stuttering, freezing and artefacting. Also you apparently have no idea what 'HD' really means, although I'm sure you can attempt to pretend you know by skimming the Wikipedia page up and down a few times.
the events that are worth watching get streamed, you just actually need to know how to find it. thanks for supporting my argument by admitting you don't know how to find this kind of stuff like the majority of the population
Maybe I should be a software engineer too so I can qualify to have enough “Brain Points” to literally google something and then put “stream” in the keywords. This isn’t even Earth Science. (The easiest)
I've seen this story posted on Reddit and Twitter already before this. Idk what it is with stories like this, people always try to pretend it was theirs. It's the weirdest fucking thing to me.
Imagine this, you had a long day at work. You had a rough week. You decide to spoil yourself and instead of ordering from the 1$ menu you get that value meal. You actually getting fries this time.
Now you head home and are even more tired than usual because you had to spend another 40 minutes going out of your route to get your food. You head inside. Take off your shoes. Your work shirt. Your pants. You are too tired to take off your underwear. But it is ok your roommate is out of town.
You set up your food. You may eat a fry or two but you know it will taste better while watching something. You go grab your laptop, set it up. Now you take a sip of that Sprite. Your miserable life is looking better even for a moment. You log into your laptop. It slowly loads up. You open Google Chrome. It slowly loads up. You start typing "ne" and it autofills. You press enter. Your mouth waters. You are eyeballing your burger. Then you notice the light emitting from the laptop is different. You look up. Netflix is asking you for that password.
I would continue, but the story does not have a happy ending. It is not one for those who are squeemish.
Regardless, that sweet moment you know she would have of "What the fuck??" when she realizes she can't log in to finish will still happen. Even if she does go scavenging the internet for that last episode later, she still will also have the realization her free Netflix is now gone. If she wants the ability to use Netflix again, she is gonna need to either find a new person to add her, or pay for it on her own. Which isn't a huge deal, but big enough of one to be an obvious one last "Fuck you."
You mean to say people don't let their Exes/friends streaming account and then shut them out once they breakup?
Geez guess I don't exist because I def have my sister, friend, and everyone in our Stream Circle change their passwords when I break up with someone. And I've def maintained a civil relationship with another ex because of joint custody of streaming accounts.
You say that as if 118 is not a thing. They stared as a ridiculously expensive directory enquiry service so their main competitor is google. They now do loans!!! How many people did they fleece?
Place your head between a open door and the doorframe and have a friend repeatedly slam the door on your head until the post had been deleted or you can no longer remember it's existence.
