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.

People in this comment section really thinking that the average person cares enough to go learn how computers really work in order to get tv for free

You laugh, but that's exactly what happened with Napster and other file sharing software. It starts with the nerds, then someone makes a good easy piece of software for it, then everyone is downloading cars.

That's why you gotta start a Plex share with your friend group - they get content, you get booze. Win win.

Actually there are a lot of people out there building plex servers on VPS services and charging friends/family/others to access (to offset the price of storage and network charges). That's one of the reasons plex is now blocking certain VPS hosts.

Fuck plex. Jellyfin FTW

Hah, well good thing that despite charging my friends in booze I host at home with a gigabit upload speed.

I think people forget that it happens often. Remember napster/sharebear/lime wire. People learn when motivated.

I've tried, but I can't get qbtorrent to work correctly. It's just stalls on every download now.

Maybe try downloading a slightly older version, i had the same issue with a specific update around 4.5ish and downgrading fixed it!
