Yeah it’s crazy. We have TV plan with some 100 channels bundled up with internet, and sometimes rarely when I watch TV I’m just baffled by the fact a paid service still is full of ads
We let it happen. You either put your foot down at the first instance of this thing or you lose any ability to do it because it eventually gets so big you can’t stop it without some whole new technology. But there’s always going to be people who say “how else are people going to pay for websites if not advertising” I say not my fucking problem. Just like robbing my free time with bullshit ads wasn’t their problem.
Given my entertainment options, I found a small developer that sells an app for a couple bucks that allows me to pull streams through my phone and transcode it and chromecast it to my projector. Juijitsu Kaisen never looked so good.
I guess I should mention they also defang, adblock, and can fake useragents if they attempt to block based on usermask/profiling. See why I wanted to pay this cat?

I’ve become a strong proponent of the joys of piracy.
This. I’m building a media server as we speak. Fuck these assholes
I really which torrents would move to i2p. There’s just not enough available there to make it feasible for direct streaming.
I am a strong proponent of finding other hobbies, but I have never been a fan of tv in general
This is really the best option. Plus media server
The creator of the radio and even the US government were wary of the idea of introducing ads into American living rooms, but look at us now.
