Who the fuck pays for more than one at a time anyway, I don't mind fragmentation because I have no loyalty to one service and will move to one to watch it's stuff, then move when i get bored of what it has to offer. Competition is always good. We shouldn't have monopolies in any industry, including streaming

Pirating is just so much less hassle.

[–] SoaringDE@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

There is more competition in piracy with who you trust to download from, what codec you find is best and what page / travkers you use. These fragmented streaming services don't have any of that choice to offer

The eyes in this fucking strip have haunted me for years.

I've just finished my setup with Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyfin, qBittorrent and nzb360. I've paid 120€ for proton vpn for 2 years, 200€ for m2 ssd for 4tb and a few bucks for domain to access my setup from anywhere. Also, I have a 1gb internet connection for 65€ pm...

So, I'm willing to pay... I don't want to spend all this time configuring scripts and integrations(though it was fun 😁)... But paying for Netflix, Prime, HBO, Disney+ and not being able to watch everything I want, simply makes me angry and miserable.

Duck them all. Arrrrr

I have outsourced much of the setup you describe to a country with lower law enforcement pressure with regards to torrenting. Costs me 15€.

Worth it for me.

[–] dzervas@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

do you have a name for the provider?

[–] Littleborat@feddit.de 0 points 11 months ago

It's a seed box I should have written that. If you google seedboxes it should be the first hit or so.

You still have to torrent but it's not on your pc.

I'm more of a Jellyfin person though (all hail open source!)

aye aye captain!

Way too accurate. Netflix, when it was the sole main provider, was super good. Then the other companies realised the big bucks they could get from streaming/peddling their own shit.

Thanks to this meme, I killed my netflix account. Nicotine is fine :D
