@Pixelle3D yep. When Netflix was basically the only game in town they beat out pirating as the market has shown they are willing to pay for convenience. But with the saturation in the market making the convenience not convenience...que return of the pirates.
And if you setup your seedbox correctly, piracy is more convenient than any streaming service.
@Petter1 probably true, its always been a hardware issue for me. But the whole "setup" is what turns away much of the general public.
If governments would just get out of the damn way...
Docker and linuxserver.io are your friend regarding setup 😄 and yea hardware may be a bit expensive, but as a single user, you may just rent a little stack at a privacy respecting server farm (and cold backup your stuff some other where)
