Yeah well the first reason they won’t find it is the drive melted away in the heat wave of 37’, got blown up in the second War of the Rhine in 39’, and since 52’ lies at the bottom of the Central European Ocean.
But also because I streamed instead of torrenting.
Well, sure… not everyone has to self host to see what they want to see either, but my reasoning remains the same. The people signing up and paying for Netflix all of a sudden likely lack the aptitude or don’t care enough. I got a sandwich yesterday that was > $12.
A big part of it for me was seeing streaming companies removing episodes due to “modern sensibilities”. Multiple censored IASIP episodes, removing the D&D episode of Community. I think this is going to happen more and more and I want all the content. Not just what was approved by some diversity group.
Everything I want to watch is readily available for streaming. Why self host unless you want to keep copies?
Because it’s available to stream NOW for $ but it may not be available LATER for $ or not
Sadly my children’s children won’t be able to find “Is it cake? S3E5” on their grandpa’s old hard drive.
And they’re lives will worse for it /s their primary concern is where their next dose of clean water will come from

I didn’t say I was paying :)

Funny on the topic of sandwiches.
Two weeks ago I decided to make my own sandwiches and coffee, and all of a sudden I have $200 extra a month.
Mostly because if you set it up right it’s near entirely automated and you don’t have to worry about media availability on your subscribed service.
Edit: also a lot of the time we (Canada) miss out on a lot of content on streaming services
I also like the wide range of sources to pull down content and have it available vs sometimes having to wrestle with a streaming site in the moment.
Sure, but I meant to imply that I can stream without paying without issues.

Agreed. I am as progressive as one can be, but there are limits.
Just a few months ago I realized I haven’t seen one episode of The Office because Netflix removed it.
Just give the option to “show/hide” them. But don’t hide them completely.
