    I just cancelled my Netflix that I had for like 10 years. Total shit nothing to watch.

    Now there’s a million services, everything is plus. Paramount+, Disney+, Nutsack+

    Even if I wanted to pay for all that shit, everyone has their own shitty app I have to install and configure and have a login and fuck you.

    It’s just easier for me to torrent what I want.

      Thing is, I’m not averse to paying for good content, I like to support the creators. But

      When every show is on a different app and they’re all $15 a month…buying a couple hard drives and saving every show just makes more financial sense and I don’t need 15 different login credentials so fuck off yarrr

      I think the + is to streaming services what the i prefix was to electronic junk.
