I'm resolved to just watch from my own collection even as I'm checking Netflix (lemm.ee)

I am over being disappointed by streaming sites.

"I wanna watch X, let's see if Netflix has it..."

*Opens webpage*

"Hmm... Netflix usually sucks, they probably wont have it. I'm just gonna say I'll watch Y off my hard drive instead. But let's still confirm that Netflix doesn't have X..."

Next thing you know, I'm watching Y off my hard drive.

Streaming services suck so much nowdays that I already resolve myself to watching something else before I even finish checking. Gotta shield myself from disappointment. Why would you pay for each channel on a TV? Just get the hard copy at that point....

All those services block IPVanish and Proton. They want my data not my money.

How do you come to that conclusion from their blocking of commercial VPNs? Sure, of course they want your telemetry as well, but it's mainly due to the copyright owners/distribution agreements.
