That’s why sports channels are much more expensive than everything else. It’s harder to pirate live sports events. FKN corpos made it impossible for my parents to watch Wimbledon.

Finally got kicked off a Netflix account yesterday actually.
Man, one thing I wonder is how the stock keep going up, when users are leaving because of password sharing no longer possible.
Stock prices and the financial sector as a whole does not reflect reality.
Because most investors are MBAs and MBAs have fewer braincells than an amoeba
Because they are gaining users from removing password sharing because a lot of the users doing it wanted a Netflix account anyway
What was the reason?
Exactly! This is the real reason I started paying, it was convenient. But I’ll pay only so much for convience, isn’t it? Right now I’ve a TV with an Android stick, but I’ve already started finding ways to use pirated stuff there. And if I’ve to pirate too much… I’ll built a fucking small underpowered “pc” that’s just good for torrenting lol.
You guys know you can stream torrents, right? It’s been solo much more convenient to be a pirate than use Netflix for years.
Explain pls…
Debrid services (such as Real-Debrid) caches torrents on their servers, enabling you to stream them. You can do so directly from Real-Debrid’s website, but there exists numerous apps that can search for torrents, check if they’re cached on Real-Debrid’s servers, and then load up the stream.
Easiest app to setup is probably Stremio with the Torrentio addon, which I use on my desktop. For my Android TV, I have Kodi running with the Fen addon (although there exists a bunch of different ones). Setting up Kodi is definitely more of a hassle, but easily doable if you’re minimally tech-savvy.
Back in the day I used an app called soda player. I’m sure it’s still around
You could try using Webtorrent. I haven’t used it in a long time but it still seems to be actively developed.
Several apps can stream. I prefer Stremio.
And this comes at a time when it’s easier than ever to pirate. It’s like they’re actively trying to shoot themselves in the foot.
Small dedicated pc with no gpu, headless linux variant, whatever torrent client, Sonarr linked to Jackett pulling in shows from whatever private tracker you can get on, Unpackerr to automatically unpack rar’s and the like, all sent to Plex and you effectively have an automated system to replace every single streaming service… Sure, the initial setup is beyond most people, but it’s only a matter of time before we start seeing people sell preconfigured systems or images.
I cancelled all my steaming service subscriptions except for Crunchyroll because I no longer wanted to pay for the ever growing amount of advertising everywhere and decline in software quality.
Everytime I use put.io with chill.institute I feel dirty at how easy it is to get 99% of the content I want in 4k HDR or max available source material equivalent quality. (Except for anime because the dual language support doesn’t work when transcoding to h264, hence the Crunchyroll subscription.)
I think we’re just a few years away from people having to just to install an open source locally running AI that can be instructed to download and instantly stream whatever you want for you.
As long as we don’t all die in WW3, haha.
I set up an open vpn server on my asus router, and a dedicated open vpn client router down the street for my parents that their roku box connects to. Now Netflix only sees the account accessing from one household. I have fiber so I have the bandwidth to give for this setup. It’s my personal fuck you to them for wanting to charge me an extra $8 a month for 2 screens. If I can’t get a $8 discount for 1 screen then they can fuck right off.
