Going back to pirating content

posted by Mattvision on Whatever

There's too many damn streaming services these days, and all the good shows are spread out between them.

It used to be mostly just Netflix and Hulu, and you could watch almost anything between the two of them. Now each service has maybe one or two shows I like. I'm sick of having to set up new accounts and pay $15/mo just to kill maybe an hour watching one show.

Bought a 2tb external HHD. Gonna pirate whatever crap I feel like, watch it on shuffle, and HBO max and Peacock and Disney+ and all the other vultures can go cry about it.

Why keep show episodes that you've already seen? If you want to watch it again in a few years, just download it again.

The fact that you're even saying this says you don't understand how it works.

They eventually fade off the trackers entirely. Shows like

Sliders
Other World
Battle of the Planets
Automan
Hex

(just to name 5) just aren't to be found now. You maybe know of one of those. There are not going to be any seeds for those shows. I have them, I can watch them if I please, as I please, when I please.

I can stream them to myself at work as distraction, if I like.

On top of it, I'm not going to go play the "can I even find it game," "how long do I have to wait" game.
