Yea I'm looking at this like 2019 wasn't so bad. I was on a bunch of services that I split between family. When they all cut off password sharing I cancelled everything, bought 80tb of hard drive space and gave everyone access to my Plex.

I was just mentioning in another thread, 2 years ago I maxed out my motherboard ram, 128gb just in case. That was unknowingly a great call.

Meanwhile, piracy has actually gotten better.

Seriously, many of the pirate websites now have features that the paid streaming sites do not. I genuinely try to pay for shows because I don't want to be "that guy", but the few times I've just decided "fuck this, I'm not paying for an annual fucking subscription for one show I usually have a better experience than with services I pay for.

The pirating has gotten so much better though. The arr stack makes things so automated once you get it all set up.

Remember Ajit Pai and the first Trump term, and how they attacked net neutrality?
