I had cousins account and I found torrenting still much more convenient than having to open Netflix in the propper browser or app to play with semi-decent quality.
In my country, Netflix shows often come out later than in the US so why pay money when I can get a greater variety of shows earlier for free on other streaming sites?
Streaming is a gray area. Germany is relatively strict with torrents but on streaming, you neither own nor share it at any point
Like, would I really feel ok supporting an industry like that? With their shitty wages, horrible copyright practices, just evil corporate practices (nepotism, extortion, sexism, etc) - not exclusive to entertaining industry, but I can def chose not to support & fuel the suffering.
I want & do pay for small studio projects, FOSS initiatives, etc.
Let's normalise that so that such support may grow and change the world.
Long live there *arr services & their contribution to worlds culture & humanity through equality/comradeship.
Yep, supporting artists and not parasitic corporations is always preferable. Unfortunately, said parasitic conglomerates try to get their greedy piggy tendrils into everything they can
I have grown up with pirating. I didn't even know that you can pay for stuff for a while lol. Yet just the other day I bought the plushie DLC for portal revolution, caz it was an amazing experience, and it was a free passion project from the fans to the fans.
I always just say I pirate it. What's surprised me is the number of people who then ask where I got it from. I assumed most normies would look down on it more than has been my experience.
At my job my experience has been that people act like you would also steal money or something.
I tend to say I forgot where the show streams Google it.

They've got no time to post because they're busy watching all the things they want without taking on another job to pay for another dozen or so subscriptions.
If you're going to have one service, the last one to get is Netflix. Hulu and Disney are $20 ad-free in a package right now. That's probably the best value out there.
T-Mobile offers the basic edition (with ads) for free on my plan at least. knowing Netflix though, that probably won't last much longer. oh well, I'll still have the high seas.
I have access to netflix but always pirate while connected to Trakt in order to have a history of what i watched and to be able to continue watching wherever, whenever
