disney, prime, netflix is mostly slop anyways.
Why do people STILL recommend TPB in 2026? It’s shady af.
I think it’s more a generalised phrase, like when you Google something, but you don’t actually use Google. Saying to look at / use pirate bay doesn’t mean the exact site, just means to pirate it somehow.
I have been out of the 🏴☠️scene for a while and this was the most trusted one back in the days. Are there other alternatives now?
Isn’t Pirate Bay loaded with ads?
Not when you’re using Firefox with uBlock Origin. Don’t use any pirate sites without a good ad blocker.

Thanks to "arr, I haven’t had to even look at an indexer in years. I don’t miss manually trolling for torrents.
If there’s nothing to watch then don’t subscribe to four different services. Streaming gives you more say in which channels/services you get than cable does.
aand that’s exactly what we do 😜
More like $165/month
I frequently listen to my coworkers/mutuals list how many streaming services they have and how much they cost a month, leaving the proper maths to only to the listeners because they won’t hear the real bill… I had to quit one that cost “only” 19€ per month because I wasn’t able to afford it anymore!
i cant imagine paying for 5+streaming which would easly be 100+, plus most of the shows/movies, they allocate all the resources to that one show but neglecting another.
Yeah, same. Everything is like 20-25 per month if not more, it just doesn’t make sense. Or 10-15 WITH ADS? Why would I pay for watching ads? But they say they have to have all the +5 services, because they watch one, spouse the other and the kids want these…
Option C is to just go without, but apparently I’m the only fool doing that
And that is valid.
I have never subscribed any of these streaming services. The pressure from friends was intense but at the end of the day I simply felt no need and even less appeal to it.
Nowadays, I hear those same friends how expensive it has become to keep all of these services to follow their interests and how the catalogue has been degrading.
I sincerely do not care.
I have the blessing and the curse of never having had the chance of having a social life. No peer pressure in exchange for no support network. Not quite the fair deal, but I must do with what I have.
I mean nobody is going to give you a medal for doing it so why deprive yourself?
The feeling of smug superiority is its own reward.
More like the feeling of not contributing to the problem, if anything I’m worse-placed for not knowing “general culture” references
Yes, you are. /s
