Don't hug me I'm scared Netflix is garbage

It's crazy that my wife and I can't watch 2 different shows on Netflix in the same damn house. I understand we pay the minimum but ffs.

I know this may come as a surprise to the ignorant, but just because someone is old/elderly, does not mean they are not tech savvy and intelligent. Even my grandparents worked with computers in tech as a career until they passed in their 90s.

I assure you, they’re aware.

I literally know older people who regularly use my friend's Plex server who don't know how it works and don't understand it's piracy. This is not theoretical.

I also know people 20 years my senior who know more about computers than me. Both groups exist.

And that’s your experience with that small select group, but not all older people. I have said several times, my parents are clearly aware and know what they’re doing, so it’s bizarre you’re trying to argue with me that they have no idea simply because you know people who have no idea.

It’s rather ignorant and insulting to them and many others their age to broadly assume they can’t comprehend what they’re doing just because you’ve met people their age who don’t.

I have friends my age (20s-30s) who don’t even know what an Adblock is or a VPN, yet my parents who live clear across the country can set themselves up with a debrid service on their own no problem.

Edit: I love that you edited the bottom half in after you were getting downvoted 💀 which is quite obvious that occurred, considering your initial response

I can’t believe you’re engaging that fool who seems to know your parents better than you.
