Hell, I was one of those. I used to torrent movies and TV shows, or stream them off numerous shady servers via Kodi. Then once legit streaming became viable options, I figured paying a few bucks a month is well worth not downloading a potential virus or risking getting kicked off my ISP for torrenting.

The thing that pisses me off the most about the enshittification of these streaming services is the ads. Being able to watch stuff ad-free was my biggest draw factor for paying a few bucks a month. Then they started putting ads at the beginning of a stream. Fine, whatever, I was ok with that. Now they interrupt what you're watching every 10-20 minutes with 30, 60 or even 90 seconds of unskippable ads. It's especially infuriating if it's during a movie. Also, the fact they're doing all this shit on top of raising prices.

Time to start flying the skull and crossbones again.
