I think the best user experience has been the same for about 15 years or so. Automatic downloads from private trackers onto a local network server that’s connected to TVs around the house and devices outside the house. The front end has changed from xbmc to kodi to plex, but it’s been the same recipe. It’s easier to see what’s available. New shows and movies are presented to me based on my real interests rather than what Netflix is promoting, etc. Interestingly, this isn’t always from pirating as content may come from ripped purchased dvds or even sideloaded from subscribed services (eg, subscribe to hbo, download content from tracker). I feel like the product is known, but it’s hard to get a business model working that’s legal. Kind of like a Napster moment. I thought Netflix would be Spotify, but that didn’t workout. Tl:dr; never stopped pirating as non-pirated hasn’t been as good for almost 20 years.
