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.
