      “Piracy is almost always a service problem”.

      GabeN was right. When the service was good, I never felt the need to go down this route. I’ve been buying music, video games and streaming shows and TV for over a decade. But now the hat and eye patch come out again.

    I paid $23 for a year of YouTube premium from one of those key sites and 4 months in it’s still working. I’m not sure how that works, in my country YouTube premium is $28 per month. Was glad not to give google any money, wish it was free for everyone, and understand somewhere in there they’re getting paid. I just can’t stand when my kid or Grandma and Grandpa would come over and watch YouTube on TV. It was the only time ads would play in my house and I hated it.

    I’m able to get the standard TV shows and movies off Usenet and torrents, but some of the smaller YouTube channels I like were difficult to find.

      $23/year sounds worth it to get rid of ads in the house, but if you ever get pushed out of that plan, it’s not too hard to set up a pi hole on your network to block ads on your tv.

      Personally I just screen mirror from my laptop with ad blocker if I want to show something on the tv, but my kids are young and I don’t let them pick what they watch at this point so it makes it easy.
