I recall, back in the day, seeing articles written for a younger millennial audience that treated the idea of not owning stuff as a kind of virtue. "Saves you from the hassle."

    Yeah, I get that. I was full on piracy for decades, when netflix came, I just ended up pausing most of that. I naively thought that they had finally figured it out, and we could just pay for access. Would have been kinda nice not to have to manage risk on a bunch of disks.

    Then my 4-year-old was in the middle of Chuggington when netflix just dropped it outright.

    I then realized that convenience cuts both ways and if it was more convenient for them, I was going to get fucked.

    To this day, the fam watches netflix, but if someone is truely into something, It also comes down getting curated through the torrents.
