@nivrig I find it's not even about money, it's the convenience. If I torrent a video then it's just a file that I can play on any device I want whenever I want however I want.

When I'm using a streaming service then I have to access it using a browser or whatever app they peddle, and the content I purchased could get removed at any time.

It's a strictly worse user experience all around. And I'm expected to pay for the privilege?
