I was a happy Netflix user until 2018, before that I haven’t really pirated any movies (with very rare exceptions) for almost a decade but I recently started again. I’m was doing my monthly budgeting and realized I was paying for too many subscription services. Netflix, Amazon Prime, Shudder, Disney+, Hulu and Crunchyroll. My family likes to watch different types of content that is distributed on many different platforms.

I was never subscribed to these many services until a couple years ago. I was thinking which service I should cancel when I realized I had the option to cancel all of them this entire time. I’m torrenting again and I started saving a considerate amount.

The only service I’m paying for is Spotify which I think it’s fairly priced and offers all the music my family listens too (and it’s convenient). All the competitors pretty much offer the same content and that’s how streaming services should be.

I remember back in the day using eMule and BitChe (to look for torrents). Now I’m using Deluge as my torrent client and I I get my torrents from 1337x. What sites are you guys using?

      Seconding Nord, love it. If I happen to get slow speeds I just connect to a different location (only happens if im running double vpn, or obfuscated, sometimes they get slow- TOR vpn is super slow so i dont use that one. These are different categories of VPN inside of Nord if you are wondering).

      IIRC, Nord is one of the few who keeps their data on RAM, meaning if an agency requests records, they unplug it to give to them, and the data is gone as soon as it’s unplugged. If im wrong, let me know!
