    Pirating is not really much cheaper TBH…my media server, including power, has to run for something like 6-7 years without upgrades or repairs to break even with what Netflix would cost in that same time frame. It’s not about saving money, it’s about not giving it to them.

      to break even with what Netflix would cost in that same time frame

      Sure, if you only watch Netflix stuff, but not Disney, Hulu, Peacock, Max, etc etc etc.

      But also, if you’re willing to give up a little content and a some quality, it’s cheaper than Netflix. A lot cheaper, if you insist on not having ads in Netflix.
