    It’s this extreme enshittification that made me sail the high seas again

    It’s not that I want to

    It’s not that I don’t want to pay

    It’s not that the seas are cheap

    It’s not that the seas are easy

    It’s hard, it’s expensive (storage is cheap until you need to store boat loads of 20-40GB files, it takes huge amounts of time and has become a hobby because that’s what it takes.

    I would gladly pay a single provider 100/month for all my series, movies, music, etc and always have access to everything everywhere without ads but the providers literally fucked us over on each and every one of those items so I’m done.

    Aarrrr mateys, all aboard!

        I spent 300 on a 22gb HDD and havent looked back.

        I hope that was a typo. If not you got ripped off. And depending on what your sonars finds you’re going to run out of storage fast.

        I have some 100TB available right now and built a bit of a personal collection as a hobby, finding obscure.movies and shows nobody has heard of world wide, American, Canadian, Mexican, Danish, German, Japanese, etc.

        It gets costly quickly, and takes huge swaths of time but it’s awesome having such a broad cluster of media available, this is what a Netflix type provider should have.

        The 100/month is just to say that money never was an issue, I just want to have access to any media that I want instead of the bullshit we have now where providers must fuck around with their users to get the maximum amount of revenue
