‘cause they’ve enshittified.

We went from cable cutting to piracy to streaming services that were relatively inexpensive and ad-free back to services that emulated cable - expensive and full of ads, so guess what’s next?

    You can branch out, that should be impossible unless you watch stuff 24/7 and are 40+, use an app like trakt to get shown more stuff you typically don't see. If you use something like stremio, the default view barely shows different content.

    I mostly go off recommendations from friends or from reading about stuff online or YouTube shorts and then torrent whatever sounds interesting. The quality of what's getting put out has just gone to shit with a lot of it just being derivative of things that have come before if not just straight remakes or if it is something new the writing is crappy.

    I have an infinite backlog, tons of great stuff out there, a lot of great stuff just never got popular enough to be recommended or stopped being talked about once it finished. I recommend stremio + torbox or some other debrid service, you'll see a lot more stuff that isn't popular currently (unlike browsing torrents and yt channels) and it'll all load quickly since it's most likely cached already.

    Can't trust reviews, I've seen some 3/10 shows/movies I loved, some 10/10 ones I hated, from critics who I thought had the same taste as me.
