Never had a high-seas site autoplaying. Just saying.

uBlock Origin takes care of that.
If pirating tv/movies was as easy on Apple TV or a gaming console as Netflix is, I would drop it in a second. I’m paying them exclusively for convenience and to fund my laziness.
I’d just put any old laptop in place of each lol
I’ve honestly given that some serious thought. A mini pc or laptop as a dedicated media server or streaming device wouldn’t be a bad idea at all.
I’ll be honest, there’s some fiddling, but you can run a jellyfin server from a laptop/desktop pretty easily for home streaming.
If you can find your way to the jellyfin-server installer for your OS, and point it at a library folder, just putting media in that folder is all you have left to do–it pretty much takes care of the rest, and all streams over your local home network.
The thing that always gets me isn’t necessarily the setup, it’s just the ease of access with Netflix or D+. If I want to re-watch all of Daredevil, it’s just there. I don’t have to download anything, it’s just ready whenever I feel like watching.
It’s sheer laziness on my part, but I accept that.
it’s just there
Until it isn’t. Either because the license is too expensive, or runs out, other random streaming service got it, not available in your country …
Piracy means you have it. Forever. Unchanged. No taksies-backsies. No (half a) dozen subscriptions to get access to even 80% of content.
Currently using stremio with the torrentio plugin on a Chromecast. Works so smoothly you might forget its pirating
I’ve never heard of either of those so I have some research to do lol
I cancelled all of my streaming services once I got Stremio set-up, and I’ve never wanted to go back. It’s awesome
Though it’s on reddit, this is a guide that worked well for me. I use firesticks, but there’s other options. I can even watch from my phone (android, it’s not on iOS that I know of)

Thank you for the link!
I’ve recently done the same, got an android tv box, mecool km2 plus deluxe, added projectivty launcher, my vpn and stremio with torrrentio and it’s been great…
I actually just recently did this after a misplaced magnet nearly took away my digital media collection. Turns out a Plex server is stupidly easy to set up and you can stream it everywhere you can watch Netflix.
Just to add, once you have your own server, you can share your library with up to 100 friends on Plex. Just become your own streaming service for basically free.
People still pay for this shit?
You can disable auto play in the account settings. I needed to login on the website to do that but it works on my TV now.
That’s fair, but for awhile that setting only worked on desktop, and various apps still may or may not respect the setting. I’ve never encountered someone who enjoys this being on be default.
That could be the case. Guess I’m lucky my old ass TV seems to respect the setting.
I tried that and it still autoplays :(
Must have done it wrong then?
Same. Although it’s (at least on my TV) profile-specific. Regardless if it’s all on the same account.
I hate that when I pause to read something an ad pops up
Think about the poor KPIs that will not be met otherwise. And try not to think about Goodhart’s law.
Mute button … playing everything on mute until I’m ready to watch whatever it is I want to watch
Valid, but shouldn’t be necessary.
This assumes they don’t block you for not being at home
obey my
Why not use the actual scene from The Fugitive?
