And this is exactly what is pushing people back to piracy. It’s easier to get all your movies from the pirate bay than it is to find it legally and pay for it.
But seriously don’t use the pirate bay. There are way better public trackers out now.
Yuup, this is why i started pirating again, which i haven’t done in a long while.
Yup I have access to 3 streaming services. When we look for something it’s the same story fail on 1 fail on 2 fail on 3 find it in 5 mins via other means
Honestly I put up with doing that when the prices were better. After damn near 15 years I had to dust off the hat and sail the seas. It forced me to learn how to set up a home server which I’ve never even entertained the idea of until now.
I’m about to be in the same boat (pun intended). I think I’m going to learn to use Linux and set up a home media server at the same time.
Call me if you need help ;p
I used the guide from this guy when I built mine and it was immensely helpful in getting the storage system up and running. That docker-config file shared in another comment is also pretty handy.
Kind of a cool hobby, you will have your problems in the begging but as soon as everything is set up stable, it is quite convenient. I personally use openmediavault (Debian based) as my host OS and Docker containers for all services I host. I can highly recommend Jellyfin for your own media streaming service
Yrah, I went land lubber for a few years there too. Now I’m back flying the black flag and teaching friends. I’m starting to learn about plex too.
Just Watch is a great app for finding out where something is.
Yes. It is fucking ridiculous that we need an app to find this stuff, but at least there’s an app…
:/ This doesn’t seem to take regional differences into account.
Guessing by your username, you could ve interested in www.werstreamt.es (the pun with the spanish TLD is kinda great, ngl)
This shit is never up to date tho I swear
I haven’t had the need to sail the seas, since BluRays are still being pressed, and the local library has a bunch of them. Free of charge. Also found a use for my old PS3.
Yeah honestly I’d rather some VPN provider get my $15 so I can torrent in peace rather than giving it to one of ten different streaming providers so they can pay some executive to dream up new ways to extract value from me for sitcoms from the 90s.
Blu-rays and dvds are so cheep on eBay. It sucks the studios are stopping physical copies to try and curb piracy.
When pirating becomes easier and more convenient than using the legit services, the industry is doing something very wrong…
Meanwhile I’m living in the real future with Kodi.tv

What really annoys me is paying for the biggest Netflix package to get 4K content, then you watch a somewhat recent (non-Netflix) movie like The Equalizer (2014) and it’s 1080p or less with a terrible bit rate.
That movie is available in 4K HDR. I know because I downloaded it to my Plex server and switched to watching that after 15 minutes of watching macroblocking and pixelation artefacts via the legal method.
What annoys me ever more is that despite paying for the 4K tier of the streaming platform, and the ‘best tier’ on my Internet plan. If I were to watch a not insignificant amount of 4k movies - I would hit my ‘data cap’ and be unable to use the Internet at all for the rest of the month.
laughs in plex server with 24TB of content
I pirate it, simple
Just as annoying, only cheaper.
I type it in Radarr or Sonarr and let my -arr stack work its magic. Depending on how popular a show or movie is, I can watch it in a few minutes on my Kodi TV. Wouldn’t really call it annoying.
Check out overseerr. You can search for movies or tv shows from there and it will request to radarr and sonarr for you. But what’s nice is it shows you all the popular shows, gives your recommendations, you can search by streaming service if you want.
