I’ve noticed over the last few years that you can always find new releases but “old” material is increasingly unavailable. .
Want the new super hero movie that released last week? Easy.
Want 1984’s “The Last Starfighter”? Good luck…

Even semi popular movies and shows are always available in a range of qualities, going up to extremely high quality if you get on a private tracker.
Rarbg shutting down was the biggest hit imo, but still lots of options.

When the range in netflix went down, fees went up and everybody launched different services, I was really thinking of sailing but it was Netflix blocking sharing that was the final straw.
