Man I hate this flippant pseudointelligent passive-aggressive crap.

Then proceeds to spew different pseudo intelligent passive-aggressive crap. 🥴😮‍💨

We're not talking about installing Linux or anything close. We're talking about downloading an app, paying for an IPTV subscription and a VPN. 🫠

Again, most people do not know what IPTV or a VPN is. They do not care to find out, their brain doesn't spend any amount of time thinking about these things. If you're not into cars you don't wonder if there's a way for your car to go faster or sound or look cooler. You get into your car and you drive it to your destination. This is the same concept.

Someone mentioned, either in this thread or another thread going outside and I found that amusing as in the same way that people used to come into pubs to sell pirate DVDs, they're now selling Android TV boxes and fire sticks for £100. You'd be surprised at what the layman knows.

The layman doesn't know what that it though. I know people who have those and they just called them "dodgy fire sticks" and have no idea how or why they work.
