Convenience and price. For a lot of people Netflix a month is worth 1 hour or less of work.

Convenience, quality and legality. Also it's a lot safer, especially for normies who have kids and friends over.

Imagine how fucking autistic you would look if you brought someone round and fired up your torrents then had to explain what a torrent was.

>download popcorn time
>better than netflix and free
1 hour of for a literal retarded person?

>stahp all tha downloading

Why are they torrenting on your pc? Just do it without explaining, you arent a kid

We can afford not to break the law

Normies need brands to define their personality. Some use Netflix, others hulu, but its all about saying "I use this or that".
Chicks don't understand why I rigged my pc to my tv, they think it's retarded.

People are stupid
Have shit taste
Are tech illiterate
And do dumb shit like worship celebrities

That isnt it. Most use all the services. Not about brands. Just about being able to watch all the things you want to watch.

We're currently in a dark time for torrents so streaming services are not only reliable but also convenient.

Well said, if you're a grown-up you should be able to afford these services, if not get a job lazy neet.

They're ok with funding the idiotizing and undermining of the West. Not out of malice they're simply NPCs on autopilot, amoral.

>It's legal
>It cost about as much as a burger
>No viruses
>No downloads
>Less hassle
>Guaranteed quality and not a shifty rip

If 10 to 15 bucks is too expensive for you then get a new job.

Because I'm a Boomer who has one more strike with att and my shit is done for. I can't even remember my demonoid account info also everyone says private tracker this PT that when I look it up it's like I'm not even reading English. Worse off you need a invite for whatever a private tracker is

Yeah that's all fine and good until you actually want to watch something half decent, and then you're shit out of luck.

>guaranteed quality
all the movies are shit tho

>no viruses
Telling a megacorporation what when and how you watch things is enough to warrant calling streaming services malware.

>No viruses
How the fuck do people still get viruses at this day and age?

Dubs of astro turfing

lol the daily I'm so cool because I know how to pirate cheap shit. This is like the high school girl who steals make up. If you do it it's no big deal but bragging about it is pretty cringy.

Convenience + peace of mind.
I bought a hacked Fire Stick for Kodi and it was such a fucking meme. In Kodi you have to install all these different channels and 80% of the times the movies wouldn't work or take forever to buffer. These channels would also get shut down by the gov't so you would have to download their new channel and set it up all over again.
Downloading off a torrent is risky (you can get a letter from your ISP). And the quality usually looks meh when played on a really big TV. If you're watching a torrented file on PC connected to a TV, you won't be able to ff/rewind with your remote.

>being so so so so so stupid that you get viruses in 2019
is this a netflix employee LARPer?

>It's legal
don't care
>It cost as much as a burger
a burger from five guys maybe, and I'd rather have one of those than Netflix
>No viruses
I've been torrenting since limewire as a 10 year old and never got a single virus
>No downloads
.... You do have a hard drive, right?
>Less hassle
brainlet
>Guaranteed quality
Same with torrents if you know what you're doing, also Netflix isn't even HD unless you pay for the (((premium))) version
And I work 35 hours a week; no excuse to spend money on something completely unnecessary.

TIL that Yea Forums is filled with children and technologically inept "people". my mother knows how to torrent. thanks for making this thread OP

wtf are there really posters on Yea Forums who don't know how torrents work? Man this place sure isn't what it used to be

Often when you pay you get a pretty okay service, I wouldn't personally keep Netflix if it wasn't apart of a bundle. But I do quite like what I get from Spotify

>Guaranteed quality

Friends, thats literally it.

I rather use my money to buy a burgah

Women download viruses/low quality rips when they try to torrent

>t. sexually active

Because I'm not a poor nigger

my gf has a degree in chemical engineering and yet can't work out how to torrent, even after watching me. I think they're just hard-wired that way

I've been on Yea Forums since 2006, and on the internet as a whole since 1998, and I never learned to torrent

You're confusing not knowing with not wanting to bother with

>WHY DID THIS THING I ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADED GET CANCELLED?!?!?!?!?!?!?

you're incredibly stupid

>There still isn't a service with a respectable catalog of old movies like Conan the Barbarian and Commando

Going through the hassle of downloading some shitty rip from a site with invasive porn ads and then finding and tuning the right subtitles is an autistic thing to do in front of friends

It's important to remember most of Yea Forums is underage b&s that can't afford anything Mommy doesn't pay for so torrenting has to be their go-to

>ads

It's more convenient if you're a normie or don't want to jump through hoops with setting up vpns, torrent clients or filesharing multiaccount services. I used to pirate when I was young and couldn't afford shit - now I can and just prefer to dish out 5-10 bucks monthly for HBO GO or Netflix and be done with it.

Has nothing to do with money. Anyone who isn't a technologically illiterate moron has been torrenting long before current streaming services popped up and have no reason to stop. Literal mommy and daddy boomers are the ones paying for steaming services, and zoomers are the ones on Yea Forums using them.

>an autistic thing to do in front of friends
you are either an autist yourself for thinking doing a normal thing that people won't even register is autistic, or you have horrible (and autistic) friends. pick one

>figure out how to torrent while broke college student
>get a strike from a public torrent
>set up a seedbox to avoid future strikes
>eventually get into private trackers
>now adult with money, but literally no reason to go to paid services
>listen to normies ask if something's available on Netflix/Hulu, laugh internally
>literally anything I want, well organized and curated catalogues on private trackers, DL speed maxes out every time
>can stream from seedbox via Plex for normie-friendliness

>im too dumb to use torrents
sad

Just get a Chromecast and one of those streaming apps

this happens when a bunch of conservative zoomer & boomer redditors invade the place. this place is literally full of redneck uncle ted and little johnny the edgy teen trump supporter

sweet brag

Normies cast through those shitty 720p sites if they're not using a streaming service.

Lovely quads
Checked

Most people are idiots and will definitely download and run "avengers full movie.exe".

Convenience

We've gotta fight them off brother! Make sure to upvote each other so we can down vote these old f*cks outta here!

Because is illegal and people have been actually getting in trouble for it faggot. I downloaded a fuckinf fallout game once and got a warning from Bethesda

People who pirate tend to talk more about the shows they pirate because they genuinely love the content. Normies buy content, watch it, and then forget about it. Pirates talk on boards like Yea Forums and help promote Game of Thrones for example, for free. Thus making those shows incredibly popular. You think a boring ass show like game of thrones would be popular without us? Hahaha. Please.

>pirates promote a show to other pirates
You have to talk the show up to other normies, not to pirates

Wrong, because normies pay money, which is what enables a show to keep going.

>Imagine how fucking autistic you would look if you brought someone round and fired up your torrents then had to explain what a torrent was.
what the fuck? you don't "fire up the torrents" you just click on a movie file probably saved in a folder called "movies"...

I pay for multiple streaming services.
I pay for Usenet.
I buy DVDs and Blu-Ray all the time.
I belong to private trackers.
I use public trackers.
I have a good VPN, a tweaked bit torrent client, a secure browser and a secure router.
I have 1000s of movies on external HDDs which I regularly back up.
I have multiple media player devices hooked to my TV.
I see at least 20 movies in the theater every year.
I have 8 game systems hooked up to one TV.
I have 5 retro game systems hooked up to another.
I work out daily, don’t drink soda, and am not a fat slob.

Get on my level kids.

you must be under age. In 5 years of house-sharing every single normie I've lived with has just thought it was pretty cool that I had 500gb of films/music and didn't pay for any of it. No one above 18 gives a shit about 'looking autistic'

If I’m in my phone, Netflix is easier.

>who don't know how torrents work?

I know how they work, I just don’t want to.

cuz it's illegal you moron.

You are cattle.

No one gives a shit and it's sad you bothered to type all that
