    I’ve seen their libraries… they wanna serve me garbage and want me to pay for it? Pure insanity. Idk how so many people watch this goyslop without feeling disgusted with themselves, without thinking that their intelligence is being insulted 1. because they’re watching garbage, 2. because the executives thought we were dumb enough to enjoy it and they were sadly right, and I don’t know how they willingly give their money to these companies when a 5 minute search can give you access to everything, but whatever.

    This, and ads, are things I haven’t been burdened with since my teenage years, and I don’t understand how people don’t feel some sort of moral disgust/personally insulted by participating in it. Maybe I’m too sensitive. 🤷‍♂️

    This would be an issue if I hadn’t once gain left for the seas to leave a life of inconvenience and hassle.

    Streaming services really have nothing going for them again.

    And piracy has never been easier. You can get a VPN to hide it from your ISP and use the computer in your house.

    Well it’s a lot easier to just get a streaming subscription for a month, watch what you want and then cancel, compared to how it was in the days of cable, that being said because there is so much fragmentation of content between different platforms you might have to juggle through multiple websites just watch what you want
