It already came full circle some years ago when we started seeing new streaming services every year, and those companies pulling their content from other platforms to put on their own. Then you had to start thinking about what servces you need, whether you still want those services, etc. Just like cable!
Absurd.
- platevoltage 1y agoTrue, although I guess this is sort of understandable. It's the "you're paying us, but here are some ads" that really gets me. Either way, 5 bucks a month to Emby, a really easy to get membership to a large private torrent site, and a 16TB hard drive solves these problems for me, and will continue to.
- jbirer 1y agoPaying 5 bucks to pirate seems to be missing the point of pirating for me IMO.
- dborzov 1y agoThanks for the tips! Could you explain how can one get about "getting a membership to a large private torrent site"? Also, why Emby rather than, say, Jellyfin or Plex?
- squigz 1y agoThe private trackers tend to be a pain in the butt to remain active enough on to keep your account, as they tend to require a certain amount of upload:download ratio. This can be difficult to achieve since so many members have high-speed seedboxes. Just use https://1337x.to/ https://1337x.to/ or any other public tracker. You'll be able to find 99% of whatever you want.
- platevoltage 1y agoI was a Plex user, but gave up on it when it started to suck. This was years ago. Emby was the other option at the time and I'm a big fan of it. I've never tried jellyfin. If you want to, email me and I can get you an invite.
