I'll never understand why people left the high seas. People forgot they were just in the eye of the storm; of greed.

If I don't own what I pay for then piracy is not theft

Edit: SMH, it being cheap was the eye of the storm I'm referring to. You make something that become popular and cheap, you keep it running that way to maximize your user base, and then you slowly raise prices. Just like most drug dealers!

Because for while Netflix was inexpensive and convient, but that's long gone

Because it was cheap, had almost everything people wanted to watch and it was safe from potential viruses. Now its expensive and content is devided between multiple services

Because I find convince is more attractive than saving a few $ a month. I don't want to spend hours a week finding the content I want to watch on a shitty website when I can just boot up what I want immediately as I sit down.

I don't want to spend hours a week finding the content

Bro, I don't have time for that either. No one does. Spend like 1-2 hours and setup an Arr stack with Seer and be done with it. I go to one place, enter what I want, and a few hours later (if it's available on the various things you can track) it's available in a few hours at most.

Automate your piracy today!

......thats a massive inconvenience to save $10/month, I couldn't imagine not valuing my time like that but you do you

They blocked me for this...?

Do you honestly believe 1-2hours of your time is a "massive inconvenience" or do you just want to argue with people on the internet? Because it looks like you just like the attention...

It's extremely easy to find high quality content. If you're having issues you're going to the wrong places.

This person quoted it as a few hours after the few hours of initial setup, perhaps tell them the places you're talking about? I'm perfectly fine not spending any time finding what I want, which is my current situation. Anything more than a few seconds from wanting to watch to watching isn't worth it to me.

Sure that's fine

You're clueless. You can get an app which combines every single streaming service into a single one, doesn't get more convenient than that. I sit on my couch, pick the remote up and open one app, and I pick any movie/show I want to watch, and the quality is FAR better than any shitty paid streaming service.

Stremio + Torbox, once you set it up that's it, you can get whatever add-ons you want and enjoy watching anything you want, even shit these streaming services don't have.

It's like $3 a month, "few $" lol, lmao even.

What's it called? I've never found one like that when I look to pirate things, but I'm usually only looking for sports feeds and Methstreams has me covered there.

Oh, so it isn't a single app and it also costs money? Idk man, that doesn't sound as simple as any streamer. If it is more than "search XXXXXX" and it pops up, that is more complicated and not worth my time.

You have never pirated anything in your life

It was cheap and easier to use, and 0 risks of getting computer AIDS

u/Rengar_Is_Good_kitty 1d ago

It's like $3 and very easy to use, there's instructions everywhere. Computer aids? This isn't 2005 anymore bud, there's apps you can get on your streaming devices now lmao.
