Whenever businesses try to ‘pin’ raising prices of an already profitable product on anything, we know the real justification is this:
“We know people are going to pay it and it will make us more money. That’s why we do it. We’re just saying it’s something else for the useful idiots who think businesses are their friends.”
Don’t fall for the plex meme. It’s a meme perpetuated by techbros who like to waste their time setting things up when there are other options already there. They do this because they want to feel superior to others by having some esoteric knowledge that actually isn’t relevant.
and install Radarr and Sonarr.
My god. It’s sad people like you actually give “advice” like this. It just shows me how disconnected techbros are from normal people. I feel bad for anyone who gets sent down a plex/radarr/sonarr rabbit hole when other options work better.
Just use a free streaming site.
You can stream pretty much anything for free here: fmoviesz.to
Make sure you have uBlock Origin installed.
If you get stuck, try googling “free streaming sites reddit” and go from there.
That’s completely fine if you know why you are using it.
I also love having locally-saved media in case networks go down or streaming sites disappear.
Still, for people coming from Netflix, it doesn’t make sense to recommend them self-hosting unless they specifically want to self-host. For most people, they don’t see the value of self-hosting and directing them to such solutions just causes them to think it’s either self-hosting or paid streaming.
If you can read instructions, it’s not that hard to set these things up.
Lol. Like I said. Posts like these just show me how disconnected techbros are from normal people.
It’s just a matter of what you value more.
Yes, and people coming from paid streaming services value convenience over complexity. They would rather have a free streaming site than learn to self-host.
You don’t have to “learn how to use a streaming site” like you would need to learn how to set up a fucking technology stack, lol. I don’t even know what the other two things are, and I’m a techbro. I guess I can spend more time learning and configuring instead of just entering a URL and making sure I have uBlock Origin installed.
Don’t I also need to download content for it anyways? Sheeh. This is getting pretty complicated for the average netflix user!
Sigh. Don’t let technology control you. Know what you’re doing, and why you’re doing it.
Quality is definitely better if you can download it yourself.
It’s also great to have the convenience of a remote. However, it’s possible to set up remote controls with laptops or other computers. I don’t go through the trouble of doing it though. I just use a wireless keyboard/mouse combo.
Yes, I think the worst part about using a laptop is having to plug it in and unplug it when you’re finished. You’ll also need a keyboard/mouse combo.
I like the design of paid streaming services and smart TV UI. Usually it’s really accommodating to remote users. The problem is that it limits what you can do with it, which a computer can overcome.

A New York judge sentenced a woman who pleaded guilty to fatally shoving an 87-year-old Broadway singing coach onto a Manhattan sidewalk to six months more in prison than the eight years that had been previously reached in a plea deal.
However, should all people be damned because a few can’t be redeemed?
The thing is, all people aren’t damned. There are plenty of options for rehabilitation in the US for prisoners who have the capacity for it and haven’t committed crimes so heinous they don’t deserve it. Those options should remain there and we should always be looking for ways to improve and expand upon them.
Still, what deters people from committing crimes isn’t ‘going to rehab.’ It’s going to prison where they lose their freedom and have to live in worse conditions than they would on the outside. If prison becomes an ‘adult daycare,’ then criminals would be less deterred by punishment and more willing to commit crimes as a result.
I’m curious what you are specifically referring to. You’re the one who brought up scientific studies. Link to them. Are you saying you just read what was in this thread and that’s what you’re citing? Okay. Link to the specific studies you’re talking about.
I’m not interested in what other people are referring to. I’m interested in what you, the guy bringing up studies, is referring to.
You say they’re “definitive.” Show me a definitive study. Go on. Go ahead. Don’t make me comb through and assume what you’re talking about. Stick your neck out and own it.
