Disney is raking its customers over the coals with a 75% price hike for their annual subscription (originally $80.) People wonder why piracy is on the rise.

Well, I use Russian streaming services. All the media imaginable is instantly available to me and I can download it for offline use if I need it. No need for NAS at all.
If that works for you, cool.
I will not support a Russian service, nor will it accommodate my needs.
The biggest reason for this route is that, once setup, finding/watching whatever I or my family wants is as close to effortless as It can be. I don't have to deal with shady services, nor am I at their mercy (referring to access and content availability). This is particularly important when sharing with friends/family that are not tech savvy. If they have an issue, I can actually do something about it and don't have to hold their hand through some shady third party site or worry that they've gotten themselves into trouble. Once it's been downloaded, everyone I've shared with can access it at anytime hassle and worry free. I (and the rest of my users) don't have to use caution browsing or streaming from my platform, while I do with random sketchy services. A problem made much worse with alcohol.
