    Every time I think “hey I wanna watch that one movie again” it’s never on any of the streaming services I pay for. Even old ass movies like the godfather are missing and I’m asked to instead rent them. Fuck you, where’s my pirate flag??

      And since they move services so damn often it’s almost impossible to find an up-to-date list telling you where you can go to watch something!

      It took me 5 minutes to finally track down The Perfect Host. And it’s “available to rent” on Amazon? Fuck that entirely!

      Your pirate flag was within you this whole time.

      One thing to not find your movies my man, but losing your pirate flag? Time to get checked for Alzheimers!

      Just want to mention that this issue is even worse for content from non-US markets.

      There’s a huge list of classics from where I live that are completely impossible to find and we depend on one privately owned platform to decide to buy the rights and make it available even if these productions received public financing and that’s just when it’s clear who owns the rights.

      Even piracy isn’t an option.

        Yeah it’s also worse for streaming outside US markets, especially if you prefer original English. Supposedly you can use VPN but that didn’t work plus you need credit card.
