    With Netflix already having ads we are now 75% of the way to “cutting the cord” going back to reinventing cable again.

      if it was still just netflix, and everybody didn’t have their own streaming service, that would be different.

      but when you add up netflix, prime, disney, paramount, peacock, max, and whatever else, the wallet definitely says it’s just like cable.

      do one at a time and rotate, maybe have one you ‘always’ have. you can’t watch 10 different services at once anyway.

      “Again”?

      I’ve still been out here since Napster. Welcome back aboard, we kept the torrents warm for you.

          Seedboxes. Download the torrent on someone else’s computer, and then directly download it to yours through an encrypted connection. Sorta like a “money-laundering” for pirated content.

          Honestly still just using Qbittorrent with a VPN; it’s a dream now that fibre is pretty ubiquitous. Mine hit 100MB/S yesterday, a 1.4Gb file takes about 10 seconds

      @OldWoodFrame @ZeroCool yeah I will never, Comcast/Xfinity are total scum bags and I would pay extra to never give them money ever again. Unfortunately I am forced to use them for Internet, there’s no way I’m paying for their cable TV programming.
