    There is a cost vs ease balance, when the cost is such that the ease of streaming vs piracy is low enough it makes sense.

    Like I have spent the last hour trying to get my vpn set up to work with a torrent client. Now the settings for my vpn are so messed up I cannot get it to connect at all. So the ease of piracy now is so great that the cost of streaming is looking like the better option.

      DL torrent, open it, go take a shit. Here on Kodi. I mean compared to the stupid login dance you have to do on Netflix every 2 days, hoops you have to do with your VPN or adblock giving your spy TV internet etc, that’s not even valid anymore.

      Also what’s an hour or two, learning things, once in a while vs getting ass raped by tech bros 24/24? And paying for it.

        DL torrent

        Still trying to set up the vpn. Finally was able to reset it enough to get basic access back.

        I have not had to log into a streaming service in a year, maybe 18 months. Do not have a spy tv, so no issues there.
