pretty much the only thing i personally prefer about streaming is how "easy" it is sometimes. i say, sometimes, because there's definitely enshittification happening to those stream app UIs to push crap content where i am just scrolling through heaps of trash. in contrast, torrenting is very intentional. and yeah, sharing a bunch of streaming services easy mode. i have a rule against paying for more than 2-3 of them.
sometimes i think about getting one of those curated subscriptions like mubi to more easily sift through arthouse indie stuff. but i also enjoy some brain-off slop, and the only option for that besides torrenting seems to be picking 1 or 2 of the big slop troughs.
This is why I’d like to build up a collection of movies and shows offline. Then if I ever have kids, we can enjoy kino together and they won’t get sucked into the brain damaging world of YouTube unboxings and Elsa soft core porn

Don't worry, they'll get into the Frozen x Spiderman mpreg experimental dentistry through their friends at school
I think it's mainly kids who can't read who watch that stuff
it's what happens when you put a 2 year old in front of a tablet playing peppa pig and then just walk away for a couple hours and let the algorithm ride
I cleaned out the last non chain rental places for about 5 hours around for cool stuff back when they were all ending and have a really cool movie collection. It was cause I had a retro game hustle going at the time, but I kept the tapes.
