-Unless your a millennial with really good memory… requires a (usually) a good paid VPN + 3 hours of reading and setup so you dont get nasty letters from your ISP.

-Requires requisite ports and knowledge of how to get the shows to your TV

-ideally requires a standalone PC, which most households no longer have

-Requires knowledge of additional programs that need to be researched and have paid competition

-Requires knowledge of how to find the source material, with huge gatekeeping between source pools

I am probably forgetting other stuff, especially for Gen Z and now the oldest Gen Alpha. But if I as a millennial feel it’s a burden to relearn the steps for something I already was doing a decade or so ago. That must be a massive bar for someone who never had their hand in it, so to speak.

I am not saying it’s impossible, just I haven’t found a straight forward guide from beginning to end, with all the new technology included. And the first time they get a love note from their ISP, they will likely just stop.
