    I pay for a lot of things that I don’t have to, for many reasons. Paying for piracy tho, that’s something I’m sort of unwilling to do.

        No VPN because where I live it’s unnecessary, I pay for HDDs but you would with Plex as well, aside from that I use my server for other stuff as well, and I don’t use Usenet, so yeah.

      Some people will pay for a vpn, for exactly that purpose. And it’s worth it because you don’t have to use 30 different streaming services and 30 different apps to find what you want to watch. And it’s all hosted in the same format.

        And that’s not even mentioning usenet… Paying for piracy in many cases can just be overall better

            Yes, quite a lot do. It is just a faster, more secure, and more reliable experience compared to torrenting

                I know how this sounds with where we are currently… but reddit’s /r/usenet has alot of good guides and round ups. That’s what I used back in the day, before the exodus that brought me here a couple years ago
