Pretty much all of them. You go on one, search for what you want and either download it or just stream it, depending on the site.

Meanwhile with streaming services first you gotta figure out which one has the thing you want to watch. Then you hope it’s actually available in your country. If it is you can then watch it, but not in high resolution, that’s for the higher subscription tier, not the one you have. Oh wait, actually, you can’t watch it, cause your mom is currently using your account on her own pc, and you can’t stream on two devices at the same time. Are you starting to see my point?

I admit I am exaggerating slightly, but not by much imo. Streaming services have so many restrictions and random hoops you have to jump through that piracy is just the better option. And it’s a hell of a lot cheaper on top of that.

Sling TV Blue is only $40/mo and has FOX on it.

If this guy is anything like me or a fuckton of other young people, he just doesn’t watch TV. Paying 40 bucks just so he can watch a single game is ridiculous and exactly the point most commenters are trying to make. As long as there’s no easy and cost-effective way to access certain content, people will pirate it, even if they can afford to pay.

I’m not a millionaire by any means, but I’m pretty well off. I can afford to pay for the shit I watch too, but I refuse to support an industry that makes me jump through hoops, juggle multiple services, get package deals and so on, just so I can watch a TV show. Provide a service that is at least on par with the experience pirates get and I’ll gladly pay for it. Valve managed it, why can’t the movie/TV industry?

Honestly, doesn’t even have to be old. My Toyota Yaris is a 2023 model and it has no subscriptions. Such cars still exist, but they are mostly in the lower end market, because automakers assume if you have the money for an expensive car you also have the money for a subscription.
