Hello pB my old friend, time for us to meet again

Media companies are forgetting the important lesson. People won't pay for shit if it's easier to pirate.

Steam is a prime example. I don't want to pirate, because I like the services they provide.
Make that, but for movies. I suppose that's what Netflix was at some point.

At one point Netflix was better than pirating. It had a catalog of nearly everything in existence and I could impulse watch something without any preparation... while with pirating I had to wait for the download to finish and, occasionally, fish around for a decent copy of what I wanted.

Then they cut off VPN use.... Then their catalog got thinner... Then they raised the price.. And then, the line I hated most of all, they became advertising subsidized for some tiers.

There's a reason I'm happy to tell Bezos to go fuck himself.... and that reason is ads of Amazon prime. (I mean, there are lots of other reasons, too).

The thing that keeps Stream good is Valve isn't publicly traded.

Also, Gabe Newell gives a fuck. He wants steam to be the best platform - he isn't hyper focused on profits.

Steam still isn't perfect though... it's just the least awful centralized platform.

A petabyte seems a bit excessive. A couple of 8tb drives is plenty enough for me

There is a show on Disney plus that I love, but sadly I can’t find it on pB. It’s not even that old, but it was funny as hell.

Showrss.info as well.

Nope, sadly only random episodes are there. Or really Low quality.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Play it, record it, keep it for yourself

The show is called “Black-ish”. I can only find low quality or random episodes. Not a complete series.

If you haven’t seen it, please give it a go. It’s wildly well done and really funny.

Searching BTDigg for "Black-ish" followed by "S1", "S2", etc leads me to 1080p season packs.

Thanks!! I was not aware of that site.

This show is kinda special to me as I don’t live in America anymore and have not been back for a few years. This show really reminds me of American culture.
