Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn’t easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.
People in this comment section really thinking that the average person cares enough to go learn how computers really work in order to get tv for free
You laugh, but that’s exactly what happened with Napster and other file sharing software. It starts with the nerds, then someone makes a good easy piece of software for it, then everyone is downloading cars.
I definitely care enough, but I can’t figure it out to save my life. All the online communities just act like everyone’s supposed to automatically already know what they’re talking about.
That’s because it’s illegal to discuss -how- to sail the seas in many jurisdictions. You either know or you don’t know. The best thing to do is ask a friend IRL to help you out.
Step 1: If you are in the USA (or other oppressive state), learn about & get a VPN.
Step 2: Learn about either torrents (more popular) or usenet. And download a torrent client (free and perfectly legal).
Step 3: Search around for a torrent tracker or indexer where you will search for media content.
You can google/chatgpt these steps for further insight but it boils down to these three steps. It can get as complex or as simple as you want it to.

If there are any questions or anything you want to know about it, I can help you. Unfortunately sailing the seas is a bit more tricky in the US, Since your isp sometimes sends you a cease and desist. Get a vpn, download qbittorrent and for the basic part, thats really it!
Why isn’t anyone mentioning that there are arrrrr streaming sites that won’t land someone a cease and desist?
For the most part, clearnet sites are safe. Except for the insane ads that these websites usually have, any clearnet site you connect to, nothing can harmyou. The real problem comes from downloading torrents
That’s why you gotta start a Plex share with your friend group - they get content, you get booze. Win win.
Actually there are a lot of people out there building plex servers on VPS services and charging friends/family/others to access (to offset the price of storage and network charges). That’s one of the reasons plex is now blocking certain VPS hosts.
Fuck plex. Jellyfin FTW
Hah, well good thing that despite charging my friends in booze I host at home with a gigabit upload speed.
I think people forget that it happens often. Remember napster/sharebear/lime wire. People learn when motivated.
I’ve tried, but I can’t get qbtorrent to work correctly. It’s just stalls on every download now.
Maybe try downloading a slightly older version, i had the same issue with a specific update around 4.5ish and downgrading fixed it!
