Wut? Personally the closest thing to TV that I watch is probably Dimension20 on dropout - I just wanted to highlight that it’s actually impossible to watch some TV shows. That’s how shitty streaming has gotten and why pirating is gaining popularity again.
For a while it was actually less of a pain to do things legally, but now greed has enshittified us to the point where it’s less potentially expensive (viruses, legal exposure etc…) to pirate shit than pay for it.
This is also one of the reasons that Steam has drastically reduced video game piracy in most cases - it’s easier to just buy it and accept their ToS… but you’ll still see ubisoft shit pirated all the time: nobody wants uplay on their machine and the games actually run better for pirates after they strip out malware like Denuvo.
Make your product good and reasonably priced and you’ll reduce piracy more than any amount of shitty DRM crap.

Big plus to basically everything on dropout
I don’t know if I’m allowed to ask here or not, but do you got any reqs for good torrent sites/trackers these days?
Man, if you had a better tone in this thread I’d have hooked you up.
