When did we reach a point piracy has better service than paying? (sh.itjust.works)

At least for media, piracy websites have a more extensive catalogue (of course) but they also have better privacy which is crazy. And they also allow you to use ad blockers. Sites you pay for would still show ads sometimes and don't even allow VPNs.

At that point there is no point on paying for streaming and if you wanted to support the creators you could do it separetely with merch, other proyects they have or direct donations if any of those are aviable.

People here might be interested in retrovibed. its an early stage personal media library/player with builtin tooling for distribution for artists and dead simple setup for users. its primarily built for music/podcasts, but supports video media as well.

...I seriously hope the "vibed" is about the style and NOT about it being vibecoded or using AI in any way.

The name isnt in relation to vibe coding, its a callback to early days of sharing and vibing out to music, but it certainly will use AI for the recommendation engine(s) and other areas where it makes sense.

as for the coding the AI is primarily used for generating test cases and cli functionality. areas that are incredibly useful for debugging but not worth my time directly.

so consider your hope crushed i guess. I'm more interested in building a community that works for musicians, artists, and their fans than I am in moralizing around tool usage.
