This is by design. It's the intent of copyright law to make getting copyrighted content a miserable deal for the customer and a great deal for the copyright holder, because the thinking goes that this encourages content creation. No technology is gonna change that, only changing the law will.
Don't forget that when you search you also need to wade through AI-generated SEO trash that doesn't actually tell you which service it's on.
I'm so fucking done with the garbage AI articles that give nothing. Do nothing. Just waste time and space to try to eat up and revenue I don't even give because I have ad blocker sup to wazoo. If I had any way to punish them for the damage it's doing to the internet I would in a second.
What really annoys me is paying for the biggest Netflix package to get 4K content, then you watch a somewhat recent (non-Netflix) movie like The Equalizer (2014) and it's 1080p or less with a terrible bit rate.
That movie is available in 4K HDR. I know because I downloaded it to my Plex server and switched to watching that after 15 minutes of watching macroblocking and pixelation artefacts via the legal method.
Your next step is to stop paying for the shit version. Things only change when you hit their wallet
And this is exactly what is pushing people back to piracy. It's easier to get all your movies from the pirate bay than it is to find it legally and pay for it.
But seriously don't use the pirate bay. There are way better public trackers out now.
Go on...
A docker container set with
Transmission + vpn
Radarr
sonarr
Lidarr
Prowlarr
Bazarr
Jellyfin
Easy to set up, you can choose from hundreds of trackers, it will auto search and download based off of your quality preferences (but you.can manually choose from a list of ONLY that movie, not general search results), transmission will only work through the VPN, everything is correctly named and indexed.
Then you can watch everything on your LAN through Jellyfin.
I know we're anti-reddit here but last I checked r/piracy still had a kick-ass masterlist
Piracy community here on lemmy is run by previous r/Piracy head admin and has an even more kick-ass masterlist
Yuup, this is why i started pirating again, which i haven't done in a long while.
Yup I have access to 3 streaming services. When we look for something it's the same story fail on 1 fail on 2 fail on 3 find it in 5 mins via other means
Honestly I put up with doing that when the prices were better. After damn near 15 years I had to dust off the hat and sail the seas. It forced me to learn how to set up a home server which I've never even entertained the idea of until now.
