I never stopped. It's been obvious for ages that if you don't have the data on your drive, you may not get it again.

I do pay for Prime, but all I care about is saving on shipping. Even if a show is on Prime, I'll pirate it if I want to watch.

Where do all whippersnapper young pirates go on these days? I've been out of the sea too long but I can hear its call.

Google Real Debrid (Torrent-Service) in combination with Stremio (App) and Torrentio (Addon for app). No VPN needed, low cost (€16/180days) works on PC, FireTV…

Thank you, I will look into that.

Same, I started because amazon used to show me ads for other shows while trying to binge something, which was very annoying.
