    Pirating went down when paying for streaming was more convenient. Well, you are making it far less convenient.

      Streaming has become cable 2.0.

      It was wonderful when everything was on one, maybe two providers. Could watch everything in a very easy, very affordable way.

      But everyone saw that, went “I know, I want that money!” and spent billions building their own individual infrastructures so make their own streaming services, and right around we go right back to the absolute worst days of cable and bullshit.

      Only thing stopping me from saying fuck it and downloading shit I want to watch, is the fact that I no longer know what the good sites are… since I havent pirated since the heyday of the bay.
