Lol. They're not dealing with boomers who don't know how to pirate anymore. We grew up learning how to pirate as kids who won't deal with that bullshit.

    I wish. Many kids today seem clueless about that. Many don't even get how file systems work.

    This is very true, and I'm betting a big part of why streaming services are doing this is they know they can get away with it more than they could have with earlier generations who just pirate everything when the services aren't worth what they cost.

    They still know how web browsers work.

    All it takes is a trip over to fmovies and you have more content than any paid streaming service.

    No account required. No CC info required. It's a testament to how stupid people who pay for shit are.
