    Unlike some, I never took off my pirate hat. That’s been me the whole time.

    Except for the whole not being alone thing.

      I mixed piracy with s couple of tge larger streaming sites for a while. I’m 99% piracy now. (technically have prime video, but don’t watch it)

        I use the streaming services I have for unrelated reasons (included with something else usually) in a half-hearted attempt to support the creators, but I will pirate most viewing media (TV + movies) by default now.

          I had access to everything legit and still mainly sailed the high seas. I just prefer to have all the content centralised and local.

          My wife used to prefer the streaming apps but she really converted and thought I was a genius when we went for 2 months with constant isp internet drops for hours at a time.

        At one point Prime had all of the Star Trek, all of the Stargate shows, the Simpsons, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. That alone made it worth turning on.

        These days I stream various YouTube channels on my smart TV more than I open up Prime.
