I've gone back to pirating everything. I can afford to pay for all the services, it's just the service and content quality has gotten so bad that it's just not worth it. I DO pay for content from other markets (French, Israeli, and Japanese), just not mine.

It's just like vehicles. There isn't a single vehicle sold in my market that I would pay anything for (ok, maybe the Ford Maverick). There's a bunch in other markets (Europe, South America, Asia), just not mine.

If the content is so bad, then why the need to pirate it?


OP said content quality so I'm assuming the streaming is shittier quality than, for example, BluRay quality you might get from torrenting.


I stick to old stuf from the 1930s to 1990s

I will say the Criterion Channel is excellent and I do subscribe to them.


Are you me before kids?
