      every person who i've ever taught to torrent kept coming up with the weirdest reasons to not do it. "oh the ads scare me." install an ad blocker. "oh i don't know which button to click." don't click the download button, copy the hash code. "i forgot how to copy paste." wtf you're not even 30 yet. "it only has 5 seeders." become the 6th.

        I got a few nasty-grams from my cable provider for piracy before springing for a $2/mo VPN.

        But Streaming really is just easier, especially if you have a Smart TV. And the cost for these services simply isn't that high. What's annoying, more than anything, is that nobody has a full library.

        So I tend to run a mix. Stream what I have. Pirate the rest
