      Yes I’ve gone around this little carousel many times with people trying to justify it for themselves. You don’t need to justify anything to me. I’m not your dad.

      Like not paying for a haircut if the stylist didn’t have any customer at that time anyway. It’s a victimless crime!

      (Btw I have a large Plex server. So yeah, I’m a hypocrite.)
