The UX in streaming services gets worse with every update, to say nothing of the constant catalog changes. I do want to dip my toes back into the piracy world. What makes me nervous is how to remain anonymous. I know a few people who got hit with torrent warnings. Is it all still newsgroups? What's the state of the art in home piracy setups now?
- intothemild 3y agoI'm not going to advise on anything related to piracy sadly. I don't want this thread to turn into a guide. But there is something you touched on, how the UX gets worse... The UX of piracy keeps getting better. Also, side note... Why can't streaming services just have ALL the subtitle languages? You can get around this with a VPN, so they have the license... Why not just let us chose? Why have only a couple languages to chose from at best.
- throwaway290 3y agoIt's not easy if you want quality. I like more obscure stuff in best res for my screen (can't stream that on average connection) and without a registration only torrent tracker it'd take a lot of time to find a dl. I'm sure I'm not in the know on this to do it best though. And for bad quality yeah shady basic web streaming sites exists though. Keep in mind they are packed with unstoppable video ads and malware js though. I don't poke them with a 10 foot pole usually. I sub to Apple TV btw. Some originals are very good. UX works for me.
