I have Amazon prime, so I get access to Prime Video.
My family phone plan comes with a Free™ Netflix account per line.
As a student, my Spotify account gives me access to Hulu.
I can use all of these services at zero additional cost to myself and I still
stealacquire it through different legal avenues. It takes an extra 2 minutes to make sure that I have it forever and that it'll be easily accessible.Not to mention, no ads. Guaranteed
What pushed be over the edge was trying to watch some older shows in Prime and getting absolute dogshit quality. When I sail I get guaranteed 1080p, no ads, instant seek.
I got amazon prime mostly for the free games, it's pretty much a steal in my country (if you pay for one year it's about $1 a month) and I still have to pirate things that are available in the prime video. Why? Because I use Linux and amazon won't allow me to play videos in 1080p. Only 480p is available.
I renewed Prime for the holidays and then realized... I still get ads. Is that a thing? There's several levels of paid Amazon Prime, but they still want more money by serving you targeted ads!?
