I have Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Prime TV. I will search through all of those before resorting to the high seas. If I didn't have a family though, I would cancel all of those services because it takes me less overall effort to download from torrents.
It's amazing how ridiculously easy it is to pirate these days. I didn't know jack shit about anything other than a handful of torrent sites and qBittorrent until recently. Yet it took me only 15-30 minutes to set up a full media-server stack for the whole thing.
Here's my full stack:
- ProtonVPN at $120 for 2.5 years of service, approx $4/mo
- qBittorrent: torrent download client. Free
- Jellyfin Server (PC) + Jellyfin Roku Channel (Roku device): similar to Plex media server, it's like a Netflix-style UI for your local content. Free
- Sonarr: searches for TV shows and can automatically download them into qBittorrent. Free
- Radarr: searches for movies and can automatically download them into qBittorrent. Free
- Jackett: search indexer so you can search all your favorite torrent sites through one service. Integrates into Sonarr and Radarr. Free
EDIT: Oh I use Spotify for music since that one is reliable and all the music I want is there. Plus they have offline download options.
