Learned the term recently and really enjoy it, subscription fatigue is the feeling we all have had now where we are just over how everything is subscription based.

Which one was the last straw or most annoying/frustrating to you?

Pro-tip if you're sick of paying for streaming: Stremio (app--I run on NVIDIA Shield) + Torrentio. Totally free and will have everything you ever need. For a few dollars, Real-Debrid adds more/faster stream options, but it's purely optional/nice-to-have.

I would counter-argue for Jellyfin + Radarr-suite. I just like better Jellyfin's interface.

Both options are valid, I use Plex instead, but selfhosting people need to understand that there is beauty on the streaming route, pirate streaming route.

Honestly, the streaming way is less bothersome and with almost immediate results, so there's a lot of beauty in it.

I am a picky bastard so I want to make sure I'll be able to watch everything in 4K, without waits nor interruptions. Plus I watch a lot of old stuff that takes a while to get: American Gothic took me 6 months to get, I tried getting the DVD set first but realized the latter episodes weren't included.

I've seen it mentioned, but never tried it. I'll have to read up on it, thanks!
