ahhhh
why stream when you can simply download?
Sport
Not sure how much this was serious, but now that you say it I do feel like there's an element of that! 💯
Not an element. It’s a massive demand.
Oh I misunderstood, I thought he meant there's an element of sport in finding a working stream for what you want 🤦
I suppose there is, but hunting for a sports stream that doesn’t suck isn’t really as much fun as just watching the sport
Uhhh I may be the idiot lol your interpretation arguably makes more sense
Little column A, little column B 😄
Some things are only available on one or the other. Live sports, for example.
Which one for sports?
Streaming. If you know of a way to download a game that hasn't been played yet, you let me know.
I think you misunderstood my question. There's a zillion links on here
For a lot of people, especially young people, their phone is the only computer they have. For those folks streaming is often the only viable option.
Because my ISP gets mad about torrents, I don’t usually rewatch things, I don’t have to wait for the download to finish, I can do it on my tablet, and I don’t want to deal with cleaning up old video files every time I need to make room for the next 100+GB game install.
Not trying to convince you but you should use a VPN either way when pirating and you don't have to wait if you enable sequential downloading. You just have to wait a few minutes depending on your connection. Your download speed also has to be at minimum as fast as the movie is playing
if i had money to pay for a VPN i'd just use something like real debrid. and if my ISP is middlemanning my https certs then a VPN probably isn't going to help much.
Pardon my ignorance but HTTPS certs can be middle manned? Could you give me a TLDR of how if you got some time?
