Back in my day we had Netflix and nothing else, and it was good. Nowadays I can't even watch Looney Tunes on fucking Max because they were delisted. Please someone explain to these execs why they are losing money. They're dying.

I got into datahording pirated media out of spite, youthful angst and complete lack of funds. Now i literally consider it an act of preservation.

lack of funds

datahoarding

how’s that working out for you?

I did the same, gotta keep an eye out for good deals. Last year i got a 18tb ultrastar HDD for $40 cad from an auction ($10+$30 shippibg to RMA)

Also shucked a 12tb Ultrastar out of a external enclosure

At one point I got 3 used 1tb drives for free out of an old business server

Im up to about 40tb of storage across all my drives now

Execs are getting paid millions! They DGAF. Once they drive one thing into the ground, they can just move on after landing very softly with their golden parachute.

Because of the price hike by all the streaming services, pirating never felt better. I can watch anything I want, any time, dont have to wait for my monthly sub to expire to switch to another provider and than watch what onley they provide. Maybe if pirscy numbers rise they will do somthing that helps the consumer.
