Netflix has so many lovely sequels and not the main movies that I suspect they are just trolling people at this point.

netflix is basically a repository of direct-to-video movies at this point, or a single random season of a show.

Thanks to streaming services I am so inundated with shows and movies that even if they don't have the thing I'm looking to watch there's almost always some other thing I've been looking for and I'll just watch that and wait for what I was looking for to get picked up.

Steam killed game piracy, it's more convenient to play by the rules now. Same with music streaming. TV shows haven't quite figured it out yet, sometimes things go missing from Amazon or Netflix and lmao at buying physical media are you loving kidding me, you just shift the convenience to piracy making the most sense I am a shitposter on the go I don't have time for this

they are getting pretty big. 3TB drives are reasonably cheap now. I have 3 of them just for my movie collection (less than 10% porn)

streaming seems great now, but when the nuclear apocalypse comes I'll have the last laugh

they are though? also focus is getting SSDs bigger and cheaper, M.2 SSDs are pretty new and cool so I'm waiting for those to come down in price a bit. there isn't much need for huge 100 TB platter hds, though those are still growing, when you can pretty much buy a bunch of 3 TBs for reasonable cheap and stick 4 of em in a computer no problem. there isn't that much porn/music in the world to fill that poo poo up, or maybe i'm just not goony enough.

but, there was time now! :cry:

it takes me like a year to fill up a HD (it took my entire childhood to fill up the first 1TB, but things have accelerated). way I see it, if I'm streaming something I am uesing the same amount of bandwidth as torrenting. but I save on bandwidth if I ever watch anything twice, and I don't have to worry about shows disappearing because of stupid rights negotiations

I dunno, must depend on what quality you get. Most movies look good and only about 1.5 GBs. to fill up a 3 TB hd is like 750+ movies if you have 4gb/movie or up to 2000 at 1.5. tbh there aren't even that many good movies worth having.
