MODERATORS
You could say this about a lot of automation tools. A properly-functioning *arr stack is nothing more than an automation tool. Punch a movie/tv show into Overseerr, the *arrs work in the background with your downloader client (torrent or Usenet), and some time later - depending on your internet bandwidth - it appears in Plex/Jellyfin.
The convenience of the end result is worth the work.
You should check out Netflix :p
Maybe not useful to you, and that's ok.
That said - just because you don't find them useful, doesn't mean you have to be a stick in the mud about it.
