Sailing the seven seas?

laughs in security vulnerabilities
Do people expect the price to go down?
I'm confused
No, but back in 2012 no one expected the amount and quality of the content to go down so drastically either.
You’re continuously paying more for less.
They expect to at least get the same service for their money. Instead, it's gotten worse while also getting more expensive.
Peobably to stay the same for longer
It will still cost me the same amount 🏴☠️

My piracy continues.

DAE remember Kim's Video in NYC? The main store was 4 floors of rentable media in a skinny former tenement building on St. Marks with a yellow/black facade. They had every movie imaginable from all over the world mostly in DVD and VHS formats in nondescript black cases, sorted by nationality and then director. You'd pick a case and bring it to the art students manning the desk, they'd judge your tastes without subtlety then go into the vault in the back and return with the media. Members only, no more than two rentals at a time, strict late fees. Friends and I were there every day or so rotating out an endless stream of cinema.
Can we go back doc?
It's kinda silly that I wouldn't pay a cent for a streaming service but if local video stores came back, I'm go every week.
Parasites
This is all because I never returned those DVDs in 2006, isn't it.
I don't mind paying for things, but it was already ridiculous. This is too much even for me.
Same.
I'd contribute more to the system if it was so blatantly exploitative.
Apropos to absolutely nothing, what countries do y’all use when torrenting with a vpn?
I... Never thought it would matter. Does it? I just use whichever server is fastest or whichever server I happen to be connected to for whatever reason.
Ecuador and Uruguay these days.
Switzerland
Meanwhile I just discovered Jellyfin has Smart Playlist, Home Screen Section, and Collection Sections plugins so I can make my Jellyfin home page exactly like Netflix/my old video store without a price hike. :)
not my problem
I need to go return some videotapes/DVDs.
Has more selection and doesn't even ask for payment info.
Anyone subscribing to media they could be getting for free needs to be laughed and pointed at.
