Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.
Nowadays piracy isn’t a hassle, and it’s certainly not a hassle to get things to play on your tv. Just set up a Plex/jellyfin server and install the appropriate app on your tv or tv box. With the arr suite + overseer + qbittorrent + Plex/jellyfin piracy is heaps more convenient than streaming services
im a home media guy too but all this is not more convenient for people compared to just installing the netflix app
I consider setting up a Plex server a hassle. Especially since I have to download my own movies (necessitating the cost of a VPN) rather than just being able to use a free streaming site.
