As I said, its not that way for me, because my hard-drive is right there, I plug it in, move to the right folder, which is where I want it, where I know it.

Those "oh so easy" applications are bloatware, need sign-ins, money, need crappy mobile/console interfaces, and very often still dont have what I want to watch (language, captions, resolution or even "nah, we dont have the rights to this series (anymore), because we rented them to someone else, even though we have initially created tge whole thing")

imagine I want to make a meme or gif out of star wars, VLC or Windows Movie Editor or whatnot is just better than trying to film Neftlix.

I will state again: for me "pirating" and locally storing content is the significantly easier option.
