    I actually probably spend more on hardware and labour pirating content than I would on multiple streaming services, but at least I don’t pad the profits of enshittified platforms, and can watch what I want when I want.

      Ha, I was doing a similar calculation recently. I think the only subscription I ever paid for was Netflix, and for the others I used family and friends’ accounts. Only replacing Netflix, I haven’t broken even, but considering I pirate content from 5-6 different services, it’s absolutely cheaper.

      Yeah sure, for the price of my servers i could probably get all streaming-services together for some years :-) But they’re not just for that. Jellyfin is just one of the services that runs on them. But yes, even if not. Better paying 5x for something like that than netflix et al.
