Hello everyone, do you know what grinds my gears? Doing the "right" thing by being subscribed to 4 different streaming services and getting such a shitty experience that I'd much rather pirate all the stuff I have legal access to. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not paying for any of those subscriptions, my father gets Paramount+ for free with Sky, and now we recently got Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video for free with the new WiFi contract. Well, unfortunately both Prime and Netflix are the ad-tier versions, I don't know about Disney+ cuz I haven't watched anything there yet. So far I've started re-watching Fallout with my brother and the ads are annoying, but bearable. But holy fuck Netflix is a piece of white service, trying to watch an episode of Lost means having 3-4 ad breaks of 30 seconds each, can't even enjoy the pacing of the show. And if I wanted to watch a movie with my girlfriend while on videocall? Well, I'd still have to pirate the content cuz all of those streaming apps block being casted. I get them for free so I won't complain any further, but I'm seriously considering saying "fuck it" and removing all those apps from my iPad and pirate everything that I'm not watching on the TV with my family (apart from Paramount+, that app is not great but no ads at all, and I get the entirety of South Park and Spongebob, that can stay lol)
