My coworkers were talking today about all the hoops they were going through with streaming to find the content they wanted and navigating the byzantine extra charges to share it with their family. If piracy wasn't an option I still wouldn't go through all that, it's madness how much worse the paid service is to the high seas.

    Yup. My gf has Netflix but for one of our shows, the English subtitles disappeared (she's ESL). Took like 15 minutes to figure it out, but happened again the next day. Now we pirate that show because it's easier, even though she has it on Netflix.

    Also used someone else's Netflix to finally hit the attack on titan craze some years back.

    No english subs. Have to read the local language. Whatever. The names were not accurately translated. Whatever. I could look past that since they were consistent within the subs as presented.

    Season 2 - all the names changed from season 1. Even something as simple as changing a K to a C is too much and unacceptable, but the fuckers were straight up changing the name of the militaty units and shit. I had no idea who was who.

    20 minutes later, I'm watching the HorribleSubs version with the worldwide-accepted English names and I never watched anime on Netflix. Piracy is a service problem.
