Things are so tight that 1 streaming service would be an irresponsible expense for me. $15/month for an expense that can be circumvented if you're smart, its a no brainer. I feel like society has done more harm to me than any amount of piracy will ever do to them. Where are all these high paying jobs I was promised I could have if I got a degree, huh? I'm worse off now than before I made the decision to go to school. It's pirated or nothing for me but it's also more convenient. That enshittified corporate ui shit is slow.

Well obviously that means that you just have to stay in silence and watch nothing all the time.

Piracy is wrong and immoral and you should never deprive a billion dollar corporation that's keeping over 99% of the money the actors and production crew are making

There are people who understand what I'm saying...then there's the guy or lady I'm replying to right now.

By that I mean...PIRACY IS IMMORAL!
