imagine still paying for media
>>
>>107059569
>cable but on the internet will be somehow different
>>
Remember when normalfags had home tapes or TiVo and didn't have to worry about something disappearing due to licensing
>>
>>107059569
i haven't paid for media since the 1990s, when i discovered pirate sim cards for satellite tv boxes.

>>107059948
factual
>>
>>107059569
I honestly would like to pay for media so that I could support artists I like and maybe even play a small part in influencing what stories get made by showing what is more profitable, but everything is too ridiculous at the moment for something like that to happen.
>>
>>107059948
Physical media needs to make a comeback. I've been data hoarding but maybe one day I can set up some kind of script with a disc changing DVD burner that will let me semi-automate copying my digital media to physical.
>>
I want to pay the people who make the shows I like, but all the platforms suck dick so bad I can't even. Literally can't even, even.
So I pirate. It's easy, fast, it works.
Make your platforms easy, fast, and work, and I will give you money.
>>
>>107059569
Hahahaha your "recording" has been removed. VHS bros, oooooh we be laffin.
>>
>>107059569
Imagine being such a retarded infantilized piece of trash you're interested in Disney.
>>
>>107060139
Disney owns like a 1/3 of all media you tard
>>
>>107059569
>imagine still paying for media
Just pirate it right now and sail the seven seas

Unless you had an "physical media" for movies and tv shows. this should be fine
>>
>>107059569
What the fuck is youtube tv
>>
>>107059569
>streamcucks get robbed of content again
Torrents don't have this problem.
>>
>>107061089
>What the fuck is youtube tv
youtube's own tv streaming service
>>
>>107059569
I quit buying movies & music because I am sort of poor and I refuse to make rich people richer
>>
>>107059569
When Fubo dropped A+E Global Media, I got to keep my recordings. YouTube is just being cheap...
>>
>>107060139
It's almost like you don't want to watch shows about black queer female jedi apprentices and gamma irradiated girl boss lawyers...
>>
>>107059569
I really don't understand why people are rotting away coomsuming so much content, it's insane.
>>
why not just let people download video files (open-source codecs) in the quality of their choice?

they have the bandwidth. people can own physical media. it's just silly at this point.
>>
>>107060149
>Disney
and........... it was run by a jew
>>
>>107061970
you know why
>>
>>107060058
i need to find physical media to watch tv shows and movies so i don't like paying for the streaming service

so i put dvd movies or tv shows on my laptop and it actually plays
>>
>>107061875
don't forget nigger sportsball, anon. espn was mentioned by name.
>>
>>107060149
No one is holding a gun to your head to watch Disney media, you tard.
>>
>>107061089
Are you retarded?
>>
>>107059569
someone has to pay (not me)
>>
>>107061462
>>107063722
I've never heard of this shit before and I use shittube daily
>>

>>
>>107059569

the deal is rigged anyway

why are boomers seemingly incapable of not watching broadcast tv? my mom thinks I'm a fucking genius for setting up jellyfin when really I'm a fucking retard.
>>
>>107064482
Before I set up a plex server my (late) boomer father was pirating his movies and tv shows. He doesn’t do that much anymore but still uses IPTV.
>>
>>107064533
Late as in born at the tail end of the generation, not dead. Ghosts don’t watch tv.
>>
>>107060149
and 2/3rds of media is unwatchable trash
>>
>>107064533
my boomer father ditched cable and started using a $20 modern antenna that gets like 500 channels for the last decade or so before he died
>>
>>107064533
damn, maybe my mom is just retarded
>>
>>107064574
He pays 60 or a 100 quid a year to some guy my cousin put him in touch with for access to most tv in the world on his firestick. Uses it for golf and other occasional sports ball (less and less because of all the clueless women commentators and brown players) and to check out how other countries are reporting potential happenings. Since win 10 ended he wants to switch to linux and before that was using tools I gave him to reduce win 10 telemetry.
>>107064585
Maybe her son just needs to teach her more.
>>
>>107063912
must be some american thing, never heard of it too
>>
>>107061089
it's youtube's replacement for cable
idk, that shit is all so expensive. before this disney licensing shit it was actually a pretty good solution for the whole "you have to pay for 10 different subscriptions to approach what you had with cable"
i bet they won't even lower their price now that shitsney is out, lmao
