    I have Amazon prime because for the moment I’m living without a car and it’s fucking convenient. Even then when they drop the new episodes of the boys I pirated it and it wasn’t even some big Grand look at me I’m pirating it bullshit. It was just more convenient to put it in my Plex server. And apparently they started showing ads?

        Yea. You don’t get to charge for the service and push ads. It’s an either or situation. To do both is an immediate disqualifier for me. I already pirate what I want from Prime, even being a member as well. If Youtube premium starts doing ads, I will drop that, return to music piracy or find an alternative less shitty music service, and find a different front end for YT to still get to my subscriptions without ads. I have a sub for the music, but stay for the YT.

      Honestly. I probably have a fully legal way of accessing 95% of what I watch. It’s a helluva lot easier to just not go through the hassle of figuring out which one of the 97 streaming services that specific show is on.
