I pirate things I could stream legally. It's often a better experience.

I do the same. It's just not worth dealing with the ever-increasing shittiness of streaming services.

My only issue with piracy is it doesn't add to the number of streams. So it might cause some studios to cancel shows they don't think are performing well.

They'll cancel them anyway.

Well thats why i wait untill they are done. Too many canceled shows burned me.

Netflix baited me into a "new" sci-fi horror show. When it got to the end I looked up when the next season would be out.

Not only was it cancelled, it was cancelled without conclusion ten years ago.

Apparently it was only "new" to Netflix, but that didn't stop them pushing it as new content.

It's getting to the point that I want to do it just on principle.

But for the most part I just don't watch stuff at all
