The thing is, even if it's a huge time investment, if it's perceived to be easier and cheaper enough than subscribing to all the content providers (Hulu, HBO, Netflix, Amazon, Netflix and Disney+ just for TV content), people will do it. Piracy was more complicated in the past and lots of people, even people with 0 technical knowledge did it. The only reason people stopped is because Netflix and friends made the legal alternative easier. If piracy once again becomes easier than legal streaming, people will simply switch to piracy. It's as easy as that.
