My mind is turning on the piracy front. I’ve paid for Netflix for like a decade, and it was good.

I tried not to pirate, but there was no legal way to stream Game of Thrones, so we would do watch parties. Eventually HBO came to Canada through bell and I could watch it online.

That moment was pretty great, I could watch all my shows, and HBO, and Netflix was putting out some strong content.

Then everyone decided they wanted a piece of the pie. Netflix has continued increasing prices while everyone pulled their content out, Amazon turned prime video into a roulette wheel of “can I watch this or not”, and Disney+ launched and very quickly turned into only shovelling garbage quality star wars and marvel projects, and now everyone is stuffing ads into their shitty content fiefdoms.

We’re back to where piracy is the better experience and now I can’t watch the content I want because it’s at most 2 shows a year per platform.
