Been using traditional methods to get my isos and store them locally, and on arrs/Plex for well over a decade.
Honestly the debris stuff never ever interested me, unless the data is in your control locally the rug pull is always on the horizon.
I do wish we could make it easier for non-technical folk, not everyone is wrong in the head like I am to be happy enough building and maintaining a NAS and the software stack required.
Unfortunately not everyone has access to cheap storage so for us a few bucks a month is more cost effective than having to upgrade expensive storage regularly. 😓
Upgrading? Regularly? stares at 25x2TB ancient array
For more storage space yes. We have 2x2TB HDDs in raid atm and a few years ago that cost more than $100 (although I forget the exact amount). I have no doubt they will last long long time (I have a 1TB HDD in my PC that is about 10 years old and still going strong). But we can't even store all our favourites let alone movies/shows we watch as one offs. So we would need to 'upgrade' what we have which we can't remotely afford because in this country even 2nd hand storage adds up to expensive.
