    Yes, but not a massive amount. I pay annually and it works out to about $7-8 a month for 50mbps of bandwidth and unlimited downloads. Then use *arr apps and sabnzbd to manage everything.

      I mean it’s completely valid if you find that to be a better deal than torrenting, but I can use my full 500 mbps bandwidth for free.

        I mean, I don’t use the service but, $7-8 a month that gives you access to everything versus 14 to $16 a month per streaming service on everything else. It sounds like they’re still getting a steal at a more convenient rate.

        Being said, yeah there is plenty of free options that could be being done as well so there is that argument

        Yes? If I could get everything in one place then I would happily pay for that. I don’t pirate to save money. Saving money is just a nice sideeffect. I pirate because it’s literally more convenient than juggling 15 different services.
