    I get it. I just have an entirely different workflow because my wife rewatches things, i share it with friends, and i have a moral obligation to share it with strangers.

    Want to watch something > find magnet > categorize as movie or show > wait a while > watch thing > seed indefinitely for others to download as well

    Or

    Receive request > find magnet > categorize > inform when finished > seed indefinitely for others to download as well

    Its that final step youre missing out on that brings me great socialist joy and finalizes the “owning” portion of the equation. I fundamentally disagree with streaming, paid or otherwise, because that final step where i get to share it with whomever i please.

    If i bought a video game in 1999, every kid on my block had access. If i bought a vhs, same thing. Nowadays, if i spend money on a movie or tv show, only i get to watch it. Music is inherently different and video games are a bit easier to share via my steam family, but you get the idea.

      That’s fair, can’t really argue with the sharing is caring argument. But to be even more fair, I don’t feel like cached torrents (which is what Nuvio uses) harm anything, either, since all it takes is one person to grab the file, and then everyone using the same seedbox/debrid service can download/stream it directly at their internet’s maximum download speed.

      And to be even more more fair, you can always pair Usenet with Nuvio instead, completely taking seeding out of the picture.

      (BTW sorry for coming in hot earlier, I tend to get irritated easily for no one’s fault but my own. My dopamine receptors don’t function very well…)
