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.

its legally dubious but not morally ;)

pirated sports are even a better product. they dont have ads. so if i pay for sports on tv, im actually paying to watch ads?? it should be the other way around, and if it were, i would probably sign up. also give me all your money

How would pirated sports work without ads? It’s a live product, so it wouldn’t work in the standard *arr pipeline. Are there live streams with ads blacked out by a host?

Dunno exactly, but there's gotta be some original camera feeds from on the ground that don't have those. The ads we saw years ago were overlayed at the top of the screen, taking up around 20% of the vertical space. And... every time you started a stream, there were 1-2 minutes of the same stupid commercials (trucks, etc).
