I know it's morally dubious, but I'm completely back in pirateland because of all the changes/price hikes/partitioning in the streaming space. My interests make it so I only watch 1-2 shows per platform so I'd be approaching ~100$/month.

And even if I was swimming in money, it's often easier to just download the shows I want and watch them on Plex/Jellyfin than trying to navigate the (often ad-riddled) interfaces of the various platforms and finding where the content I want is.

One example is Rick and Morty, it's made by Adult Swim, but they don't have a streaming service in Canada. It seems to be on Primevideo but under a different system than their regular content. The other way to watch it is to buy it from my cable provider (I don't have cable). So to watch a 20-minutes animated show I'd have to take a +40$ subscription.

Meh, maintaining the fully automated TV show downloader I used to use was a pain in the butt and it was always having some issue or another. I'll gladly pay the $100 or w/e per month to avoid it, and I haven't had a problem like yours where something I wanted to watch wasn't available.

As I get older, I find myself more willing than before to trade cash for time, and this is exactly one of those scenarios.

Rick and Morty came close, but Youtube TV taped the episodes for me so I watch them there.

What were you using? Nzb / sonarr / radarr / Plex is quite an amazing setup. Very low maint.

Plex Metadata Manager also allows you to import tmdb/imdb/tvdb/trakt lists which makes discovery a solved problem. You can have it import the top TV shows and movies currently playing which means it always has the latest releases.

The whole process is absurdly low maintenance once set up, as long as you have the storage space for it.
