    I actually consider pirating movies I have the rights to stream just to cut down on advertisements.

      Yup, since a specific subscription I already pay for started inserting ads randomly into their programs, I’ve added a second 16TB seedbox to my house. Now if I hear that someone at home is interested in a particular series, or that an old program has been added to the service that someone wants to watch, I just queue it up for download and watch it on the TV using the VLC app.

        Literally convenience. Before ads it was just easier to stream the shows.
