Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced.
We’ll also examine each streaming platform’s financial status to get an idea of what these companies are thinking (spoiler: They’re thinking about money).
Netflix starts killing its cheapest ad-free plan in June
Sony bumps Crunchyroll prices weeks after shuttering Funimation
Peacock is raising prices
Fubo cuts 19 channels

But what do I know? I haven’t done it myself and only download large Linux distributions because I love distro-hopping.
You can also do all these in Windows. They have installers. Recommend Prowlarr for having all your torrent sites in one interface rather than setting them up repeatedly.
I’ve been told some use an app called LunaSea to to manage their arr instances. Apparently it brings all the arrs under one simple interface.

I don’t really know what any of that means except for qbittorrent
Me neither as I haven’t done it.
But apparently it basically creates your own Netflix. You write a title you’d like to watch and within minutes you get a notification that it’s there, ready.
It’s a shame you’ve never done it. Maybe someone here has a link to some sort of tutorial for a criminal that wants to do it. Not me, just someone.
Do you hear anything about how those people pay for the VPN, or does that not come up?
Most people I speak to about this assume that the “good VPN” provider can be trusted not to keep logs.
