    I haven’t used streaming services in a couple of years. Now I’m just doing all piracy and watching it through my Jellyfin server

      It just requires so much more foresight in planning what you’re going to watch.

        I can request a show, do a load of laundry and have it available. I’ve decent enough Internet where a movie can be available in as little as 5 minutes if it finds a nice little hevc webrip. I get that it’s not instant but a proper setup can have you rocking and rolling in under an hour.

        Streaming services aren’t much better, they regularly didn’t have what I wanted to watch and I’m not subscribing to more than one. Now I’m subscribing to none and watch what I want instead of what Netflix has available.

        Well I just download more or less everything that comes out lol. It’s like having my own streaming service with thousands if movies and shows available.
