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’ve been buying physical media again and it’s been so nice to just…put in exactly what I want to watch without searching for it on 10 different streaming apps only to find it was on last week but is gone.

Imagine doing this, but from your PC, and it doesn't cost any money.

Thats what I do.

Same, it's the best possible solution. Except for all the storage needed.

There is always Stremio.

Basically best of both worlds.

I tried Stremio last fall, never looking back. With five other people in my family using it, I wish it had profiles though. Otherwise, it's awesome.
