      I have this happen a lot. Friends that back in school were the first to pirate and share new music, games and videos now all refuse to do so, even indirectly. They really want to watch show X, but moan and complain about it being only available on service Y, which they don’t have and don’t want to or can’t afford. I offer to add the show on my Sickchill and provide them access to my Jellyfin, but they just don’t want to. And I never really get a clear reason out of them. After a couple of such refusals I have a hard time taking their continued complaints seriously. 🤷

        Even more obnoxious is that one friend that complains about ads but won’t install an ad blocker no matter how many times you message him the direct link to one.

      Meh, it’s a bit new and refreshing coming from reddit. Apparently you’re insta-banned if you talk piracy. Nice to say it out loud.

      And while we’re at it, I find all the bitching and moaning about video services to be really strange. Of course they’re eventually going to fuck you over and HDDs are stupid cheap, even in a RAID array. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    pirates are the new vegans. they make sure everyone knows they are pirates and act like they’re better than everyone else for it.

        you’re all kind of proving my point

        i’m just making an observation about how pushy some of you are and you take it as some kind of defense of the industry as a whole

        i can dislike annoying pushy vegans while also not being happy with how the meat industry is run

            wow you’re so friendly and helpful, you’re really changing minds here

            you can’t even have a rational conversation about it, you just default to nonsensical retorts

              Hey, if you want to spend money on ads and objectively worse user experiences that are getting steadily worse with the occasional price hike for extra spice then go for it.

              My apologies for the misunderstanding, I’m not trying to change your mind. It seems like you are a corporate bootlicker. Sometimes it’s best to keep your opinions to yourself. That’s what I was trying to convey.

              Also, I’m aware you might try to make the same argument to me. But I don’t think that applies here. You were giving an opinion about pirates and trying to compare them pejoratively to another group that you seem to also dislike.

              My response to you is still: shut up, bootlicker.

              Hope this clarifies things.

                that sure is chilling, i’m glad this place is so welcoming and friendly and not full of angry assholes who will shit all over you for buying a DVD. definitely not like reddit or twitter at all.

                  You are arguing in bad faith. You started this comment thread by insulting 2 groups of people, then feign that you are just here to engage in polite discourse.

                  So I repeat, shut up bootlicker
