    It’s sad to see the way streaming services have gone. We’re basically just back to cable at this point with how much it costs to have multiple services. So I’m not surprised to see this sentiment about piracy.

    Streaming took off because it was cheap enough and more convenient than piracy. With multiple competing services, it is no longer cheap or convenient. Time to dust off the sails and hoist the black flag.

      Yes, exactly. It’s been more than 4 years that i didn’t downloaded a movie with piracy method.

      The streaming services are too diluted.

      The content they produce is often shitty because this is all about ROI. They cancel good shows right and left. They never end correctly series. They remove movies or series without any announcement or a way to see it when using the services.

      I got cut from “superstore” last time. My solution to watch it was to illegally download it because it was nowhere found or buy phisical copies and a reader (i dont own any blu-ray or dvd). I need to spend $100+ just to finish a series that was available with my subscription two minutes ago!!?? No way.

      I don’t want to give money to that.
