Too much of a pita. I just want to turn my tv on and go.

Once you have it set up right you can

Highly depends on the torrent. If it’s something obscure that’s on streaming but only has a couple of slow seeders as a torrent, you’re probably not going to be able to watch the latter as you download it.
It’s still cheaper, and still has a wider selection, but it is not always as convenient as streaming.
But for anything new and popular? Hoist the main sails!

I haven’t bothered with torrents since we cancelled all our streaming services. Usenet is so good right now. SABNZBD, Sonarr, Radarr, Plex, Overseerr for my family requests/Plex share users. Finding a few good providers/indexers was really cheap (Black Friday sales were great last year).
It definitely takes a lot of fucking around/learning initially, but once you’ve set it up right, it’s seamless.
Somewhat related - I hear real-debrid is a pretty slick way to basically stream torrents, if you don’t have access to a bunch of physical storage. Haven’t tried it myself, but people seem to dig it.

Who said torrent? There’s other ways to have it set up too

It is so more convienient. I had Disney+, Amazon and Netflix a year ago and it was to much to bother to open the apps and search if they have what i wanted to watch, only to find out it was on HBO or whatever.

Plus they keep making me verify my account and log back in. Such a hassel.
