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.

When the first micro-streaming service came out by a cable network provider (HBO or some other one), I said that it was going to be a bunch of stupid exclusives and you'd be forced to buy five to ten of them just to keep legal and the price was going to be comparable to cable or at least not worth it. I used to keep a netflix account but they raised the price twice in the same year (before all their politics and controversy) and I said I was done. Not gonna play that game. I don't have a monthly fee for pirating. I don't have to worry about stupid commercials when I pirate. I don't have to worry about shows coming and going. I certainly don't have to worry about crap user interface. I don't get to watch a lot of shows so the money was mostly wasted for me anyway.

I've been much happier.
