flat rate for unlimited everything is the only correct way to go.

“sell themselves” their shows at the same price as they sell to others in pay-per-view terms.

Pay-per-view is terrible. Flat rate is better. Flat rate for unlimited everything.

OH MY GOD! THE HORROR! WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE BILLIONAIRES!? They worked hard to stomp on people to get to where they are!

Wow! It’s almost as if greed and hubris caused all the media companies to split everything up so they wouldn’t have to share with netflix and now no one can keep track of which services are hosting what shows in which countries.

So learning how to pirate things and paying for a VPN that won’t snitch is easier than paying for a dozen different streaming services in addition to your internet connection.

MULLVAD! ProtonVPN! QBITTORRENT! POPCORN-TIME! KASPERSKY!

Sorry…I have Tourette’s syndrome. FUCKING QUANTUM RESISTANT ENCRYPTION WITH MULLVAD! PORT FORWARDING OFF WITH PROTON! Sorry…I meant to say that piracy is immoral and wrong! How are billionaires supposed to afford their diamond studded, solid gold toilets or their giant mansions on huge plots of land if we pirate things?!

1"Oh god! Some of our users are leaving because our service sucks now!"

2"Should we improve our service?"

3"Of course not! We should just make it more restrictive and raise prices!"

2"Yeah! Raise prices to make up for lost customers!"

1"yeah! no one will pirate anything if we just raise prices and make everything way more inconvenient!"

and that’s only what can be confirmed.

when you use port forwarding, you’re opening yourself up to a lot of malicious activity. Someone could maliciously plant some CP on your hard drive if you have port forwarding enabled.

I haven’t had that problem when I use proton. Try using secure core with the browser extension.

A lot of people still don’t and they use public wifi too. And some people with VPNs are using shitty ones like nord, express or Private internet access or surfshark

Surfshark and nord are owned by the same company and express and PIA are owned by the same company. So PIA isn’t trustworthy anymore, their court proven no-logs policy isn’t valid anymore because they got bought out since then.

They’re not just capitalists, they’re oligarchs. They feel entitled to that private information and they don’t care how much “campaign contributions” they have to give to get what they want.

You ain’t gonna get mine, you fuckers.

Proton VPN with port forwarding turned off…Or Mullvad with quantum secure encryption…whichever you want.

So I guess it’s good there was a mass exodus from lemmy world.

xbrowsersync already exists. Mozilla’s thing already exists too.

Port forwarding doesn’t help anything when you’re torrenting.

Mullvad with quantum secure encryption or proton with port forwarding turned off.

And don’t use the same location every day. Change locations every few hours, or at least once a day.

Works fine, but you cannot seed on high speeds

False, I do it all the time

Never torrent without a VPN…Mullvad with quantum secure encryption or proton with port forwarding off.

There are lots of organizations that use torrents to snitch on all the IP addresses to their internet providers.

Never torrent without a VPN, never torrent with port forwarding.

I don’t have all the answers to this question, but mullvad with its quantum secure encryption can help.

Don’t believe the bullshit about port forwarding, torrenting works fine without it. Port forwarding is a security hole, there’s all kinds of nefarious shit someone can do to you if you enable port forwarding. People can drop things on your PC with port forwarding enabled.

Gold? He’s not some dirty plebian that accepts gold, he wants Iridium dusted with rubies, emeralds, blood-diamonds, sapphires and war-orphan tears…but only war orphan tears from the wars he’s profiting from. And after he gets the enema, he kills 100 puppies and earns a single penny by doing it.

If they need more money, they can just take about $2,000 USD per second from Bezos’ money. He makes over $3,000 USD per second.

I forgot to mention. over 99% of all online sales go through amazon. They don’t need to raise their prices.
