I have Netflix, Youtube TV, Tivo with OTA, Amazon Prime, Apple TV (from new iphone). I have no problem acquiring new subscriptions. I still grab stuff off TPB just because it's easier, faster, and more convenient. I cannot stand this cluster-f of gimped interfaces (eg. youtube on pretty much any device), dangling boxes, remote controls, and hdmi switches. I don't have time for all that crap. TPB downloads appear right at the top of the list of my primary device. I don't mind paying. But we have to admit television is a mess right now and tpb fixes that mess. edit: obvious caveat I'm sure many people on tpb are pirate

I 100% agree and am in the same boat - I have many subscriptions and still use TPB at least weekly. I’m just not surprised when I hear that big corps are actively trying to dismantle TPB, nor do I think they are doing anything untoward in actively trying to protect their IP and profit from their media. I wish they would put that money and energy into making their products better and more accessible even when I am trying to pay for them, but that’s just my view. I try to give my money away to watch a number of Euro soccer leagues and nobody will take it. So I pirate all those streams.

Try newline or vanced on Android. They are frontend apps for YouTube that resolve most of the issues
