the emergence of all these streaming services and their ever-worsening terms & conditions designed to wring more and more money from you really make piracy just... the best option for convenience.
like, the reason i got netflix back in the day was because it had every tv show and was simply easier than sourcing dodgy torrents that may or may not actually have seeders. i'd happily give them my money for the convenience factor.
but now that's gone, and piracy has become SO much easier. why pay for 200 subscription streaming services when i can instead pay for 1 VPN
