Spotify and audible are the only ones I pay for. Too convenient. I would be open to dropping audible if there was a good alternative.

Pay $100+ to get all streaming services or use my favorite site through my smart tv with adblock from my phone for free and get it all....... hmmmm

Their entire existence is based on the monopoly of violence throwing you in jail when you make piracy more convenient

I pay more for my personal setup each month than I would have to pay for all streaming sites combined.

Yet it's the ease of having Arr's and a personal server with almost zero limits to stream any content I want.

My setup includes :- Dedicated Server Usenet Indexers and Private Trackers

The only time I wouldn't find a movie or show I want would be a really old obscure media which doesn't seem to exist anywhere.

Everything else is grabbed from both via my Arr's and life is chill.

Now that stremio + torrentio exist piracy is MORE convenient than streaming.

Has everything on Netflix, Prime, etc., plus

Even though I paid for Prime, I would get an ad before every show. No ads with Stremio.

With streaming service I get some seasons of shows but not others. With Stremio I get the entire series.

I’ve used Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Videos and each service got worse and more expensive with time so now I’m back to the sea 🏴‍☠️

As more and more people get direct fibre optic connections, this advantage will get smaller and smaller...
