Just ordered an external hd and installed plex.

Cancelled all my streaming subs.

After paying for these for years, I’m finally tired of the bs and not even having what I want.

See some people just hop from one service to another month to month, watch a series, then rinse and repeat.

But the last straw was when, despite having like 4 subs, I actually found out none of them had a movie I wanted to watch. I had to “rent” it for extra $.

So I went to tpb and downloaded it in like 2 minutes.

This shit has become worse than cable, and since I’ve already forked over hundreds if not thousands to these companies, I no longer contend with guilt about torrenting going forward.
