That top meme is how it was back in the day... Then all the media started fragmenting..
Brooklyn 99 on Netflix is a prime example.
Seasons 4-8 are on Netflix. No idea where 1-3 are.
So that bottom meme is how it's going now
Yep. Exactly that
Alldebrid + Kodi/Stremio
Gives you the convenience of streaming an app with the massive catalog you get from pirating.
Does it give live tv as well? I'm looking for mlb games mostly
Go to your public library and rent a movie for free.
It's not free it's 12 bucks a year ☝️😌
Where I live it's actually free, and has books movies and music! They used to have a wii in the children section!
What a scam!
12 bucks a year for education and entertainment.... S O C I A L I S M >:-0
While there, pick up some books. I stumbled into my library 2 years ago and picked some books up. Got sucked into exzessive smartphone use before that and could barely read more than 10 minutes without getting restless or sleepy. Took a while to recondition myself to just sitting in a chair and reading but it‘s so much better than endless scrolling.
Fuck the endless barrage of subscription services. Imma just sit in me chair, read me book and torrent the occasional movie.
Usenet >
What is Usenet? (Obviously don't feel obligated to answer)
Torrenting for old people /s
Hey, I'm not that old. I just have opinions as to my lawn and your proximity to it.
When the internet was a better place.
It was only a better place when access was gatekept by universities and research institutes. Once the general public was allowed in, carpetbaggers from Florida (the same sorts who would get into crypto a generation later) realised that you could flood the discussion forums the trusting natives had built with spam for no cost, and if even one person out of millions took the bait, you’d come out on top. It became a blasted wasteland soon after that, with people retreating to mailing lists.

tl;dr: You download files from a server you pay to access. Faster and more secure (assuming you trust the server host).
I use Eweka and NZBGeek as my indexer. If you don't have access to fancy private torrent networks then this is a much less painful experience than having to navigate torrent sites these days. Combine with *aar and life is pretty sweet.
It's very sweet. Gonna through DrunkenSlug in as well. I've used geek, eweka, slug, and abnzb. I currently use geek and slug. Eweka is also great, just didn't re-up. Abnzb is meh.
Kinda? Kind of bad for anything that's new though but anything that's older than the last decade it is amazing.
What? I'm in 3 private torrent trackers, and have usenet also and 90% of stuff I grab with *arr software are from usenet, even stuff that's new/releasing rn have best releases on usenet.
Only way torrent is better is if you get into those super private trackers but otherwise usenet is still better in my case.
Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong places but anytime I try to look for anything that came out recently at all it doesn't exist usually takes a minute.
Use a better indexer.
Define "a minute". I normally get things from Usenet within minutes of it finishing airing
Those would make cool t-shirts .
TorrAppleTV is fine as well (as much I despise everything Apple).
All kidding aside, AppleTV os the goat. Very little slop (unlike netflix), varied content (unlike Amazon), no endless pointless sequels and spinoffs (unlike Disney+). I hate apple, but credit where it's due, AppleTV rules.
For two very important reasons. Apple doesn’t make shit, they don’t sit in the writers’ room, they don’t produce, they don’t interfere with the creation of their originals on any level. They buy IP rights and then hire experts to do all the work.
The second reason is Apple is spending more per episode of their originals than anyone else, including Netflix.
Sanctity of the creative process and a whole lotta money will get you very good content.
Agreed.
Stremio real debrid make a good team also.
