If you do end up deciding to pull the plug on your streaming subscriptions (I did last year), an illegal but largely safe alternative is to pay for a Plex share. I pay about $3/mo for access to a fellow's server with another few dozen people and have access to hundreds of thousands of TV shows and movies. It's all a fairly manual process, and it takes some digging (I found mine on /r/plexshares), but when it works, it works great.
- BowBun 5y agoYep, same. I'm in the same boat as others where my comfort with piracy is high enough that I continue to maintain my libraries that way despite paying for various streaming services. Find a few friends who think the same and have spread out tastes, and you can setup a nice Plex server that hits all the big names so you're not out of the loop. Whenever one of us wants something more specific, we attempt to find it ourselves. If we can't I'll ping the group and usually one of the others can find it through other sites. It's fun and communal!
- 300bps 5y agoWow. I've given a few friends access to my 18 TB Plex library but never would consider selling access to it.
