    I literally can't believe there is anyone on this Earth willing to pay money for Disney Plus or AMC Plus or Amazon Prime Video or any of the other multitude of streaming services other than Netflix. When it was just Netflix maybe it was worth it for convenience's sake and sharing accounts, but all of this? Why would anyone in their right mind not just pirate everything?

    What makes me even more confused are the people who say they really want to watch a show on one of these services but don't because they don't want to pay for any of them. Whenever someone tells me that I just get genuinely confused until I realize they have some kind of moral problem with pirating. Then I get extremely pissed off that so many people have been duped into thinking that art itself wouldn't exist if everyone pirated everything.

      Whenever I look into it, it seems like work.

      I'd rather just play video games at that point :shrug-outta-hecks:

        What seems like work? Pirating?

        For me it's as easy as installing qBittorrent, finding whatever movie/show or game I want on rargb or skidrowreloaded respectively, and clicking download. That simple. Actually, you don't even need qBittorent for games, those are direct downloads.

        If you don't want your ISP finding out about your torrenting you pay for a VPN service. Personally I don't because I don't torrent extremely popular tv shows/movies often enough to get their attention. Sometimes, very rarely, I get a letter from the ISP threatening to shut my internet off, but they never follow through.
