Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn’t easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

    I definitely care enough, but I can’t figure it out to save my life. All the online communities just act like everyone’s supposed to automatically already know what they’re talking about.

      That’s because it’s illegal to discuss -how- to sail the seas in many jurisdictions. You either know or you don’t know. The best thing to do is ask a friend IRL to help you out.

      If there are any questions or anything you want to know about it, I can help you. Unfortunately sailing the seas is a bit more tricky in the US, Since your isp sometimes sends you a cease and desist. Get a vpn, download qbittorrent and for the basic part, thats really it!

          For the most part, clearnet sites are safe. Except for the insane ads that these websites usually have, any clearnet site you connect to, nothing can harmyou. The real problem comes from downloading torrents

      Step 1: If you are in the USA (or other oppressive state), learn about & get a VPN.
      Step 2: Learn about either torrents (more popular) or usenet. And download a torrent client (free and perfectly legal).
      Step 3: Search around for a torrent tracker or indexer where you will search for media content.

      You can google/chatgpt these steps for further insight but it boils down to these three steps. It can get as complex or as simple as you want it to.

        it’s worth noting that in a place like the US where ISPs set up torrent honeypots, you absolutely need a VPN and in many cases a paid tier that allows p2p (like proton).

        Small price (literally) to pay in comparison to streaming price bloat/cableification.
