Teoretically speaking, asking for a friend who’s doing research, how would you access such a service? :)

There’s plenty of services like this that people use a firestick to connect too.
My friend uses one but I forget the name of it. You can find them online but people usually buy a package of say 20 connections and then sell them to friends and family. I’ll try and remember what to search for and come back.

Not all heroes wear capes, but some have a sidegig as firefighters

Not trying to sound elitist, but…all the content combined still isn’t worth $10. Mind you the last TV show I liked was Better Call Saul, the last Hollywood movie I liked was…let me think…The Irishman, I guess?
Since 2000 the amount of TV shows I truly enjoyed watching and would watch again was maybe 8. The amount of movies maybe 20. So less than one per year.
And because I don’t have to watch stuff when it comes out, but am totally fine with watching things years later, when it’s cheap or free, I’d wager I spend less than $10 per year on TV and movie entertainment.

I think the shows have been better than the movies
Succession was really good, for example
suction@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Yes, they have been. But Succession is an example of a show which I thought I liked but never finished, because the writing was so lazy and repetitive, and what’s worse constantly pretending huge things happened while nothing actually happened.

All my favorite movies this year have been on youtube.
Most of them by Joel Haver.

You do t sound elitist, just a little boring.
suction@lemmy.world 4 months ago
I’ll take that as a compliment. It’s the 2nd time someone told me this, the first time was when a girl found out I didn’t have any tattoos.

Hollywood has been sucking ass lately, but lots of small indie films have been kicking ass. Everything from A24 has been fantastic recently. Lots of good foreign films too
suction@lemmy.world 4 months ago
Even A24 has a track record of 1 in 10, getting worse.

The poor copyright holders. Won’t someone think of the corporations for once?

I wonder how that compares to my own collection…
I haven’t found a source for the size of Netflix/Amazon/Hulus libraries; but I haven’t looked all that hard either.

Impressive porn collection you got there.

It’s probably all just Harry Potter fan fiction tbh.

You gotta pump those numbers up

Storage is expensive :/
That’s already almost 36tb, after conversion to HEVC which compressed it ~40%

All the comments in here are so damn tedious. Copyright is a mess, but holy shit, people tie themselves in knots to make excuses for pirates being careless and stupid

I mean, operate a massive illegal streaming service that has more content than everyone combined, but don’t be so tacky as to charge for it.

Just slap them on the wrist and send them on their way.
themadcodger@kbin.earth 4 months ago
No, slaps on the wrist are only for rich people. If you inconvenience rich people, that's unforgivable.

183,200 TV episodes is pretty modest compared to alternative “non-approved” sources.
One datapoint is one source (that has a rule against any TV/show content released in the last 5 years) has a total number of 19.5K shows and TV movies/specials, with ~80 K releases. For many shows a single release can be a full season.
