      We are the minority though. 99% of people will happily drop their pants and bend over just to not lose their streaming services. Look at Netflix and their ad tier and cutting of sharing.

      It’s even easier than that, now. For like $20/6 months, you can get a debrid service account that will host everything (that’s not obscure) for you. Hook it up to an app like Stremio and you basically have Netflix for all media. It even has panels for show/film discovery, sorted by genre categories.

      The only big difference is that you select the quality of stream you want each time you start playing something.

      I was going to set up my own system, but a debrid service is cheaper than buying the hard drives and a lot easier to set up.

      The average user is a complacent meat bag ready to take whatever corporations want to shove down their throats. So for anyone capable I highly recommend torrenting absolutely every piece of media you consume, and simply buying a physical disk if you want to support said media. If the media doesn’t have a physical way to buy it fuck them, just steal it
