I am over being disappointed by streaming sites.

“I wanna watch X, let’s see if Netflix has it…”

*Opens webpage*

“Hmm… Netflix usually sucks, they probably wont have it. I’m just gonna say I’ll watch Y off my hard drive instead. But let’s still confirm that Netflix doesn’t have X…”

Next thing you know, I’m watching Y off my hard drive.

Streaming services suck so much nowdays that I already resolve myself to watching something else before I even finish checking. Gotta shield myself from disappointment. Why would you pay for each channel on a TV? Just get the hard copy at that point…

    we just didn’t care anymore and threw on a show we know and enjoy.

    Yep! Ya know back in the old days we had to just watch whatever was on TV! Or go buy a VHS! But nowdays we have entire media libraries on our computers that, as a VHS collection, would be the kind of shelf someone would brag about. I suppose I should feel grateful for that. But I wanna have it! Blockbuster died for a reason… maybe not the one we thought?

      A true pirate would build a macrovision remover circuit and make a copy of their friends tape instead of buying one.
