Netflix's idiocy here recently pushed me to setup my home server with Radarr/Sonarr and Plex. Super easy to use, my non-technical girlfriend has downloaded shows and movies she wanted to watch.
We still pay for Disney+ and Binge as they still make it easy to use and have the content we want.
I don't mind paying for stuff. I do mind them squeezing us for every drop they can. It's their prerogative as a company, of course, but if they make it harder than pirating their content, then pirating their content is how it will be for a lot of people.
Especially considering, at least for our household, Netflix does not provide enough value in terms of content we want to watch to be worth paying extra for.
