Tankie culture/factory full of China-bootlicking and genocide denials

Gee, I wonder what your disagreement is

The nature of pirating means that specific media/torrents/indexes/domains are frequently down or unavailable. A solution today might be taken down or raided by authorities tomorrow.

It’s just a little more stable/redundant to have media stored locally. Plus, by streaming from something like cloud stream, you’re not contributing to torrent seeding, not to mention that a turnkey solution is a large target for authorities, so it’s possible if not likely that it’ll stop working someday and you’ll have to find something else.

It’s not for everyone certainly, but if you can afford it it’s a nice solution.
