    That’s even more of a reason for me to pirate. I have access to pretty much every TV show, movie, book, comic, etc that I could possibly want from before my existence til now. I can get to it from anywhere in the world and i know that i’m not just gonna arbitrarily remove it. I can also get specific releases or better formats. I have scripts to easily remux audio or subtitles or whatever I want. I’ve even learned how to Web-DL from services I get for free from my ISP and cell carrier. My Plex server is definitely better than any single streaming service and I have quite a bit of stuff that isn’t on any. Would never choose to go back at this point with how convoluted and expensive streaming is now.
