Bold prediction: if ads on paid streaming services become the norm, there will be a renaissance of piracy because it will once again offer the superior user experience.

Even if something is streaming, and you have access to all/most streaming services, its a pain to figure out what is on what platform.

Want to watch the new season on x? Oh even though HBO has all the old seasons, the new season is on another service.

Want to watch x movie you saw on netflix two months ago? Netflix doesnt have the rights anymore now and you'll have to dig through your streaming services to see where it landed or hope whatever, "Where is this streaming?" website you land on is accurate and up to date.

The Pirate Bay has all the seasons. Even with the hassle of starting my VPN, downloading, making sure it's in the right format, dealing with subtitles (looking at you, Better Call Saul), piracy is a better experience than fragmented streaming.

Only to a geek. I much rather just pay money and juggle the streaming services. I had a Mac Mini running Front Row connected to a TV back in 2005 and then graduated to Plex until 2020. It’s really not worth it when both the AppleTV and Roku have universal search.

Clicking a mirror link sounds less difficult than this. If you're going through the trouble of setting up some system its going to as simple to type in a show name and click a link... Even to a non geek.
