What move TO streaming? People are starting to hate it and for good reasons so streaming started it's decline. Surely a quick search can find some articles

Streaming is getting shittier but that doesn't mean it's going away. It's not like millions of people are going to jump back to paying for cable service. I'd be willing to guess a large chunk of people don't even have a coaxial plug behind their TV anymore.

I think more likely is that levels of piracy will slowly increase. I'm considering just taking the money I pay for streaming services (HBO Max, Netflix, Hulu) and renting a VPS where I can host a Plex server.

Then I just torrent to my heart's content whatever I want and can watch it on my TV as if it were Netflix.
