Remember, streaming only has a business model as long as it has a better user experience than piracy. That's why iTunes took off in the era of Napster. When a streaming service's user experience drops below that of digging up pirate treasure off a shitty ad-ridden torrent site, that service is not long for the world.

shitty ad-ridden torrent site

let me introduce you to usenet trackers

That was my first thought too. A seedbox, Sonarr & Radarr and a Usenet site and I've got everything I need for $15/month.

What is seedbix, sonarr &radarr?

[–] Bob_Robertson_IX@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 11 months ago

A seedbox is access to a server that someone else runs, and they typically have a policy of not asking too many questions, not keeping too many logs, and offer assistance in keeping things secure. It can be used for any number of things. I use mine to host bit torrent files and to run applications such as Sonarr & Radarr. These are open source apps that manage TV shows and movies.
