    As a wise man once said: "Piracy is almost always a service issue, not a pricing problem." Gabe was 100% right at least for me. I stopped pirating for probably 15 years until the services I paid for got continually worse and yet somehow the prices just went up.

      Plus what has been shown is we may not even be getting the full product we are paying these services for.
      LTT recently talked about how some people are going back out to buy DVD's because the streaming service crops the show to fit wide-screen which in of itself isn't a problem, but you don't get the full effect of the visual gag that is going on.
      Or the one I really don't here people talking about much is like what happened with stranger things where netflix went and changed up a fee episodes, so if you really liked a show and wanted to rewatch it later it might not even be the same thing you initially watched.
      * if anyone is wondering ( the main thing to my knowledge) they changed a scene where Will ( not that big a fan, so might get some names wrong) ( the older brother) is spying on Nancy from the forest where he then notices her friend get taken by the demigorgon. Don't remember what they changed it too, but they tried to make him look less creepy / stalkerish lol.

    I’m a SAG actor (16 years) and if you pirate a made-for-new-media show, it doesn’t really hurt us, WGA, or DGA, because the residuals are absolute clown shoes. Contribute your “subscription fees” to projects on Seed & Spark or other indie funding platforms. Pirate all you want from the big boys and don’t give WB, Netflix, Comcast, or Netflix your money. Just don’t pirate independent productions.

    • @jonathanwessner3456

      Heck, "hollywood accounting" means the show or movie NEVER makes money. You need to get a % of the gross to make money.
      Also, all the people they say it "hurts" usually got paid during filming. I know, if I were a camera man or sound engineer, I'd want my pay before you drop it in theaters

      I'm glad you posted here. It's a myth that the guys who actually make money want to perpetuate, which is that you are hurting your favorite artists when you pirate. Most people are already paid upfront or as part of the creation process. Even Matt and Austin sort of perpetuate this in the video, but at least they do it from the point of view of studios closing. "You are stealing from your favorite artist when downloading their song illegally!" No, they usually get advances and then make peanuts on sales. The boardroom guys make the money on the sales. That's why bands typically have to tour to make more money. The only artists that complain are those who were smart enough to make their own publishing or production companies because it hurts them then.

    What's worse: There is no way, most of the time, to purchase these things a la carte on a show-by-show or production-by-production basis. You used to be able to get any major television show or movie on VHS, DVD, or Blu-Ray. Now, you're LUCKY if one of the major studios releases a physical or purchasable version of their content. I've dropped most streaming services and have moved back to purchasing shows and movies on disc. That way I control what I watch, I don't have to worry about shows or movies changing syndication studios and moving platforms, and I don't have to worry about things being censored or altered after the fact.
    Only problem is that it does take up space and so much content isn't available in that format at all. And, it's a hassle compared to just subscribing to something. I can see why general consumers will either pirate or just suck it up and deal with the nonsense that is streaming.
    I HATE to bring this boomery chestnut up, but we really are heading in a "you will own nothing and like it" direction in media consumption lately, and it's worrisome.

      Its not just that. Often what you stream isnt actually the 'full thing' anymore. Edits are made, stuff gets cut out etc. not to mention the quality of the content. You HAVE to sail the seas for the best experience currently. AND you get to keep that forever, they can't really take it away from you whenever they choose to do so.
      Offer me movies in actual 4k,. directors cuts, extended editions etc etc and we can talk a subscription fee. But dont try and sell me on 720p/1080p content under the 4k umbrella with episodes missing for w/e reason.

    If you have an old computer and $130 you can make a relatively future proof streaming server of your own. Ive got an old i5-6500k paired with an intel Arc A380 GPU(the $130 cost) and I can comfortably have four 4k streams running simultaneously. Storage will always be the expensive part depending on how much content you want to make available to yourself. But even still in the long run buying 14TB hard drives will still be more cost effective than having 10 streaming services.

But the software(radarr, sonarr, jackett) are all free and open sourced projects that can run on something like a raspberry pi. And it removes the need for you to manually select and download torrents as well as organizing the files once they have been downloaded.

If they further restrict account sharing such that our price per family member increases significantly, or they remove certain tent-post content we like, I'm absolutely gonna start pirating again (we don't care about sports really, but prestige TV is a must, plus high-end documentaries/docuseries, and some British and Australian stuff).

I've been considering this, using a routing/network-bridging VPN like Tailscale to allows all our devices to interact with each other and the internet as if they're on the same local network. It does require another subscription and/or an always-on home server, but as you point out, could address the accounts-sharing/household problem presented by e.g. Netflix (currently costing me ~$25, 1/4 of my total monthly family media budget).
      One could take this to an extreme, finding the jurisdiction with the lowest combined monthly cost for all content, and base your family network on a server/IP there. There could be a service for that, like those tax evasion/golden passport/e-residency schemes that give elites effective use of advantageous locales for their tax and globe-trotting needs.

You should be able to pay to watch your team and that gives you access to whatever streaming platform it's on that day.

Plus even when we here in the UK are able to sign up to a streaming service, you're never sure exactly what content you'll actually be able to access - because they never tell you what is region locked or not until AFTER you've already signed up - and quite often the most popular shows, which are invariably American, just don't appear at all on the UK version of those Streaming platforms.

    Even Netflix doesn't make money, they might be able to show a profit on their accounts but thats via legal but creative accountancy practices, their cash flow is massively in the red every year. Streaming services just have to buy way too much 3rd party content and also produce way too much original content compared to before and while they may get more for each subscriber than they got in carriage fees for their linear channels on cable they have fewer subscribers and they are harder to rely on month by month so they bring less money in while spending more. They need to be able to share the load better where they don't need to be competing on 3rd party content as much thus not driving the cost up and where they don't each need a new original every month, Disney can have one in Jan, Netflix in Feb, Peacock in March, Max in April and paramount in May and each can still keep their subscribers because they are subscribing to watch something on one of the others

  • @danabell2709

    I mostly watch 'free' CZcams and Twitch until the NFL season starts up. Then I check what streamer will give me the biggest chunk of my team's games without being ripped off by CZcams TV for 'the package'. If I miss a few I'm fine with that. I don't care enough to pay a hundred or so dollars a month to see it all.
    I do occasionally pay for a month of a service to binge a show I like if one is out. If they try and AGOT me with a staggered release, I'll either binge at the end or skip it if I hear too many spoilers because then I lose interest. I refuse to let a streamer schedule my entertainment time. Football gets the only pass there because I really like it and any spoiler ruins the entire game.

    Since the late 90's I've been collecting VCDs, & DVDs and now Blu-Rays along with them, so I have the stuff I really really want to want on physical media, & not beholden to a streaming service, and I really only pay for CZcams TV, and Peacock mostly because of Sports, with the of it as a bonus, & and my only other paid is CZcams Premium for no ads on my tablet/phone/TV, etc.. but the moment CZcams TV, and/or Peacock loose the sport I want to see, or they start charing a kidney I will drop them like hot lava with zero regrets as there are plenty of free streaming services, and Antenna TV is still a thing as well. These companies only have themselves to blame.

So whether i subscribe or not I can't get what I want to watch. I can't really go rent it anymore because those stores closed so i will end up either finding it on the high seas or just not bothering.

    We keep our sub even when there are no new treks, and we still watch some stuff on it occasionally. I know it saves them bandwidth for me to not constantly consume content, and i keep my sub going even in times where i havent watched anything for a month. my plan is only 7 bucks.

    I've canceled all my subscriptions, from Netflix, Prime, and Spotify to even switching banks to not pay their outrageous fees for them to give me access to my money...
    Piracy isn't theft because the content was created for the masses, not specifically for any one individual. The one who "pirates" content would probably never have any intention of purchasing said content, so where is the loss to the content creator? It's not like the downloader is inhibiting the creator from making money, so before these rich studios and greedy billionaires complain their companies are burning money, they should reflect on the fact that THEY CREATED this mess.
    I had no issue paying for services when I felt I was getting what I paid for, now I'm paying for all these "add-ons" like HD streaming that I already had before but they change their pricing to squeeze more money out of me, then still being forced to watch ads (Amazon) I've resorted back to the always-free option. It's even better now with high-speed internet! LOL

    I feel like streaming has been ruined over the past few years. There used to be one, maybe two, streaming services, so paying 10-15 bucks a month was no big deal. Now everyone has their own service, and it's hard to foot the bill of 10-20 dollars per service over, like... ten different ones. And most of them have maybe 1 thing worth watching each since they removed all their stuff from Netflix to prop up their own service. There's probably a lot of piracy that goes on now just out of convenience since you can't watch all you want from one place. Better on the wallet, too. Maybe this Comcast thing will be good, except the purpose of streaming services was to cut the cord at one point.

    It's not even the amount of services because I will load my Roku TV with as many channels as I need to watch the content I want.

Not to mention the price of each going up and us getting less in return with stricter restrictions
