I think people are also reluctant to pay for piracy.

Absolutely understandable, this was my hold up for a long time. I believe it really depends on your setup, what I had before wasn't working as well as I wanted to and this was my solution. Unfortunately, I don't have the means for local storage, so this was the next best thing for me.

I'm just in the mindset of the fact that I went from $40 a month paying for my streaming services to $40 a year for this plus my VPN.
