I have zero interest in Hollywood sloppa. Not even going to lie, I made this thread while browsing IQfy and thinking about how moderate to hardcore otaku are literally married to filesharing (including me) and how the "Netflix moment" never occurred with how shitty and fragmented the options were for legal from day one. This only intensified post-streaming wars and I made this thread for ideas besides even more and better filesharing to further pressure rightsholders.
real-debrid + some random client (stremio at the moment)
yes, I pay for it. But if it means that my whole family can watch anything for cheaper than a single streaming service and without having to have them call me each time they have a popup, I'll gladly keep paying
You don't. The whole idea of one place being the home of all tv/movie content is not possible unless you go the illegal (inconsistent) route. They'll always be the content publishers wanting to control their piece of the pie. It's a miracle that this didn't happen to music publishing too.
You literally described the paradox in your own sentence.
Why is music (as shitty as legal music streaming still is with the regionlocks and missing content) at least equivalent across platforms and mostly non-fragmented?
By your own logic, Sony Music, Warner, Universal, and all the other large international labels should have gone batshit insane by now corralling their music into tiny self-owned or heavily affiliated services. Is it just because they're still so spanked by the Napster and Limewire era that they dare not give piracy an inch? I dunno, you tell me.
You can't. It's too fragmented and they compromised too much.
It was only viable in the beginning when they had few shows and fewer streaming services.
The problem with on-demand streaming is that it places significant burden on the host to constantly negotiate for region-by-region streaming rights alongside bandwidth and storage considerations.
It might've maintained more relevancy if they had taken a rigid stance towards not splitting regional content, since that would reduce the fronts on which they have to negotiate but that's also a prisoner's dilemma, since any competitor may decide to start doing it.
Music has an advantage that is best leveraged through consolidation. People like hearing music that they have already heard before. By not fragmenting they can take full advantage of the dopamine releases associated with human pattern recognition and pattern completion. If they had fragmented, then they would have dissolved into competing pattern sets and while that may have worked, the music industry is too integrated with the advertising industry to let that happen.
>someone saying their cloud service broke so they should just use cassette tapes
no it isnt what a stupid fricking analogy. the process of watching a streaming show and watching a torrented show is almost identical. one you just have to wait for
the real "problem" here is you being poor.
if you paid for ALL those services thats $150 a month.
if you arent earning that a day then you are a failure as a human being.
Streaming services are the new apple. When someone invites you for "Netflix and chill" they mean sex.
You don't want to give Stacy the 'ick by opening transmission-cli on your gentoobox do you?
Be normal, goy.
introduce zoomers to bittorrent

imagine actually getting all these subscriptions for a specific show, just for them to lose the rights years later and STILL have to pay.

By downloading everything we like and ignoring anything we don't. Never pay for anything.
just pirate
Torrent or use cloudstream3
boomers suggesting torrents in 2024 is like someone saying their cloud service broke so they should just use cassette tapes
>download a torrent client
>click download torrent on website
if thats a complicated process to you then your IQ must be around 50.

It's not about the money, it's about the hassle. Besides, do you REALLY want to fund companies like Disney?
>$150
poorgay didn't get the top tier on every service

>want to get some kino Hong Kong films
>none on streaming
>physical media versions costs a fortune
>How do you fix the streaming service problem?
Turn it off and ignore it
