Streaming services are just as much a waste of money as cable television was. You can replace all of that with Jellyfin, Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Jackett, qBittorrent, and SABnzbd.
qBittorrent does streaming now?
No, qBittorrent is a BitTorrent client. Jellyfin is a DIY streaming service. You can roll your own. Radarr, Sonarr, and Lidarr are for automation.
Hmm, ok. You can stream torrents with Deluge and Stremio.
Ownership is the point of piracy.
No I’d rather host my own media server. I can’t stream content from someone else’s server when my power goes out.

Or you can just go to a private streaming site and watch immediately without having to do anything with torrents.

No thanks, I’d rather own my own copies.
This is what happens when you don’t push back against corporations. They cracked down on password sharing and signed up more users. They know that this change will force everyone into a higher tier with little to know effective pushback. I gave up my Netflix account a while ago, mostly due to a lack of good entertainment. When there is a show I want to watch I purchase a gift card and create an account for the duration it takes me to watch the season of that show, the rest of the time they get no money from me. The only way to make a corporation take you seriously is to affect their profit margin. Other than that anything and everything you do or say is just noise.
