      Media companies are forgetting the important lesson. People won’t pay for shit if it’s easier to pirate.

        Steam is a prime example. I don’t want to pirate, because I like the services they provide.
        Make that, but for movies. I suppose that’s what Netflix was at some point.

          At one point Netflix was better than pirating. It had a catalog of nearly everything in existence and I could impulse watch something without any preparation… while with pirating I had to wait for the download to finish and, occasionally, fish around for a decent copy of what I wanted.

          Then they cut off VPN use… Then their catalog got thinner… Then they raised the price… And then, the line I hated most of all, they became advertising subsidized for some tiers.

          There’s a reason I’m happy to tell Bezos to go fuck himself… and that reason is ads of Amazon prime. (I mean, there are lots of other reasons, too).

    Hypothetically, a Sonarr/Radarr/Usenet/Plex setup is looking reeeeeeeeeeeeal nice right now.

      If one wanted to get into Usenet, where would they begin?

      (I definitely do not have a Jellyfin server and entirely too much empty storage)
