I only restarted when they started pulling all the shit off Netflix and making up their own. Everyone needs a + service now, even fucking Walmart. And the thought of paying for ads on Hulu was not going to happen. Fuck them all.
But they’ve kind of made me enjoy piracy more as I rediscover it. I don’t have to worry about shit like a Community episode getting pulled because they’re scared of getting canceled or because a contract expired and the only downtimes I have now are my own, not because someone else decided to do surprise maintenance on a server I don’t own. I also don’t have to switch between 10 different apps to watch different shows/movies.
I paid for annual subscriptions for a couple streaming services, and get some when I buy other things from companies, but I still pirate the shows on those services and put them in Plex because everything is in one place
