When theft has a better user experience that’s important. Important because it’s more user oriented than the plethora of poorly designed apps with dark patterns to piss me off but keep me subscribed.

It’s important because it’s the reality.

Today, my janky RSS feed setup dumping stuff to a network folder is better for discovering new shows and movies. I’m more likely to see new content released through my tracker, browsing in 10 seconds than spending minutes scrolling through Netflix, and Hulu, and Prime. Just to see if there’s something new.

These services make it hard to use. I’d pay extra if Netflix just gave me an RSS feed and let me filter it. The fact that pirates are able to do this, volunteering is only part of it.
