  I did that many years ago and the fact that all content is in one place instead of multiple apps is so nice.

    I miss the early days of Netflix when that held true too. If I remember right piracy was down too. But everyone wanted a piece of the stupid pie and we’re back to where we started all over again

      I think that’s what they mean. They sail the high seas and put all the booty in one place, like a Plex media server.

  My Plex Server is a bastion of hope. I’m not paying for another streaming service ever again.

    I’ve been a Plex user for over a decade now. I’m not impressed with the direction they’re taking, but the alternatives aren’t quite there yet in terms of polish. I hope that by the time they fuck it all up there’ll be a better solution to switch to.

      Are you talking about plex media server for local files? If you are still looking for polished alternative check jellyfin. It is amazing

  Piracy is now easier than ever when you use torrent streaming clients.

    its always been a convenience issue, i want it easy to find a show not search through 5 apps, pay 5 times etc. Netflix took many pirates to port because it was easy and reasonably priced. Then everybody and their mother made their own streaming service…sails were raised again

    Usenet is even easier with more reliable quality. Strong recommend.

      Most don’t like usenet since it cost money, but you’re absolutely right, usenet is the best way. It’s what I’ve been using for over a decade now lol
