    Why entitlement? He paid good money for a service and hardware and still got fucked sideways and got his data sold to shady assholes. Is it now bad to not want to be scammed and be spied on, while PAYING for something?

    I used Netflix multiple years and it just got worse and worse in quality and convenience, while getting more expensive. Something that doesn’t happen when sailing the high seas. I don’t have to dox myself when pirating (unless you fucked it up yourself, ofc). I don’t have to justify why I try to watch something away from home. I’m not region restricted, because of licensing issues or some bullshit law some corrupt politician made up, while hoisting the black flag. And finally, I don’t need to pay multiple expensive subscriptions, because some companies want to take a piece of the cake, too.

    You know what happened to pirating movies and series, when Netflix first started its streaming business and you could watch everyting on one platform for a reasonable price? Piracy drastically decreased. It only got a “problem” again, after the streaming services got greedy and tried their best to screw the users over with restrictions.
