Not only that, but the current streaming services have done a great job of killing the quality of their content. The Expanse under Sci-Fi was stunning. Under Amazon, it's a meh at best. I was incredibly excited for Season Four, watched it, and came away wondering if Amazon had replaced everybody but the actors with a mixture of part-time interns and bags of slightly off-date produce. Haven't bothered with Season Five. Just don't care. Same for mainstream TV. On the other hand, I watched a short (Overlord) set in the SCP universe done by an independent filmmaker, and loved it. They didn't try and explain things to me. Just straight into the story. The characters behaved about as realistically as I would expect, and showed that the scriptwriter actually did some research. I would pay for full-length movies with this level of storytelling and production value. In short: I don't need to pirate anything, because there's nothing I feel is worth my time to watch.
