Streaming has become remarkably easy, all in one place and free. No need to even sail any seas these days.

I have a solution for everyone having problems.
Private Internet Access (specifically for port forwarding) in docker container networked with the below container QBitTorrent in a docker container
prowlarr to connect to private torrent websites
watch the community open signups for invites or just buy one, a good start is iptorrents or torrentday (same people).
attached the private torrent login to prowlarr
add sonarr or radarr to prowlarr and start downloading shows for free to your plex or whatever you wanna use. Use google or CHATGPT to figure out how to do all this shit. But honestly if they don't want to play fair, why should we. PIRACY FOR THE WIN!
The guy that owns private internet access bought freenode and basically killed it. And fuck all vpn services for that matter.

I can still pick and choose my streaming. If I don't want Netflix I can cancel it, I don't have to keep it just so I can also watch Hulu.
Yes, if you get everything, it's about the same or more than cable.

If the FTC wasn’t such a limp dick for the past 2 decades, things may have turned out differently. All of these problems are the result of too much consolidation and not enough competition.
That’s why I’m excited about Khan’s FTC since she is actually doing her job. Despite a couple of high profile losses, they’re winning more than they’re losing and, most importantly, they’re deterring anticompetitive mergers since companies now have to think twice or risk a lawsuit.
