      Normies dont like my answer of “Just steal” when they complain about stuff like this.

      1. hear about show
      2. wait 2 days
      3. download show for free via torrent
      4. watch show uninterrupted at 1080p and high bitrate
      5. gg

              Some shows are online before it’s even done airing because people have cracked the streaming platform and can download directly as soon as it drops. Hour long show that premieres at 9pm? If it’s popular, it’ll be online by 9:15.

                Yea but usually sometimes things like that are low quality, in the wrong language, or sometimes have other issues with them or are even fake/malware. Best to give it a few hours at least before allowing releases to be downloaded.

                  Very true. All my shit’s automated these days anyway, but I remember back when Mr. Robot was still on air, I’d always be checking the torrent sites starting about 10 min after the episode dropped and I very rarely had to actually wait a full hour for it to appear. Fun times, and a very fitting show.

              Same day if even kinda slack. Typically hits within an hour of airing, it’s like a better dvr

      I was for a while. Cut the “cable” in 2003 and was happy to pay a few bucks for a streaming service here or there, more convenient than pirating. But now… well I cancelled them all and am right back to where I was years ago. They are so happy to kill the golden goose.
