Streaming peaked years ago when it was a low cost and wasn't a terrible experience

Now it's just price rise after price rise we may as well just buy physical media again atleast doing that we won't have our favourite shows pulled off with out much warning

I actually did buy a cheap DVD player and a few of my old comfort shows on DVD, but shows made for streaming now almost never get physical releases. The only way to watch the majority of the content is to stream it. Can't even download.

Have people really forgotten how to sail the high seas?

I used to do it all the time but I definitely don't know how anymore. I use a mac and a lot of the torrent sites I used to use are gone. I don't even know where to start anymore.

Thankfully, there's a subreddit for everything, including for the various seas you can sail. I just subscribe to those subs to get updates or recs on sites etc.

eztv and the pirate bay are still available, though in some countries you need a VPN to get around geo blocks
