When Netflix and Premium came along, I switched from pirating literally everything to finding that I had access to everything I wanted to watch between 15-30€ a month combined. Cheaper than a TV sub here costs (and a TV sub here didn't have the shows I wanted to watch).
Then the whole streaming market fragmented with every jackass on earth starting their own and removing a buttload of content from Netflix and YouTube.
Resulting in that if I wanted to watch everything I want to watch, I'd be paying north of 150€ a month.
So I pulled my wooden leg and dead parrot out of my closet and resumed pirating.
