    streaming services were good, most of us just paid for it during that time many people lost the skills and wills to do the job.

    gonna take a while for people to get properly pissed to retrain.

      Thats what I think is funny about the whole thing. They’d effectively won against piracy then were like “cool everyone is paying now LETS FUCKIN DRAIN THE SLUTS”

      Exactly how I ended up on debrid, I don’t know what the hell I’m doing anymore, I don’t mind paying but I got fed up with everything getting fractured and torn apart due to greedy ass licensing, I wouldn’t have even minded the price increases if it was one, maybe two, services but it’s absolutely ridiculous. I remember paying for up faith and family for a month to binge a show I wanted to watch and really started questioning how dumb I’d become. I got my moneys worth (imo) since I canceled after a month but I don’t have any desire to play the subscribe and cancel game either and it’s become pervasive if you just want to watch something. I knew it would get bad but I’d hoped for better, like Netflix and another competitor fighting for distribution supremacy kind of like Steam. That went to compete shit and I was naive af.
