I have been pirating ever since I was a kid who didn't even know pirating was illegal. From music when we used walkmans, to movies (both shitty websites and downloading them) to games, to this day I haven't owned a single game other than those freebies.
As a kid, asking your parents for money to buy you stuff online wasn't easy. So guess what? Pirating was the only way for everything. However, now that I'm not longer a kid, I could afford the OTT platforms like Netflix, Disney+ etc and gave Netflix a go only to be disappointed. I can assure you, I spent more time searching for what to watch than the amount of time I spent in watching it. Plus it just seems like a waste of time coz your mind keeps forcing you to watch something just because I paid for the subscription. And watching stuff is funny part, half the time some network issue happens and quality keeps jumping back and forth all the time.
Made me realise no amount of money is gonna make me pay for OTT platforms as they're just time consuming. Better is to download whatever movie or show you want from the net, watch it, delete it and forget about it. Unlike Netflix which won't even have what you want 90% of the time.
