This is so strange to me. I guess people enjoy being ripped off and getting less and less value for their money.

hell, I'm across the country at my parent's place and got them a movie by remoting into my home pc to start a torrent and had it populatred in my Plex server and streaming at full bluray quality 4k hdr in less time that it took for them to get popcorn ready.

they never even knew that i had to do any of that. i just told them "yeah, I'll get that set up while you get snacks"
