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?

I have a guy who runs OBS and overlays fun graphics over ads and plays music over commercial audio. And all I need to watch is VLC - so it works on my phones, tablet, laptops, etc without any trouble.

He has a KoFi so you can donate and get a message on-screen too. Fun for rallying your fellow fans :)
