I watch a fair amount of series, but I'm not a data hoarder. I see the value in 2GB episodes, but I watch most series on my laptop, my simple 1920x1080 tv or even my phone where that value doesn't make a difference. If I want to have a theater experience, I'll go to the theater.

Most of the times I just want to enjoy a good story and relax before I go to bed.

I don't have infinite storage and I hate when I want to download something new, but Im out of storage, so I have to delete stuff first.

Good enough for who? You? Sure. But not everyone watches on a small screen. Some people might actually care about the quality too. Some of us can't goto the theatre.

2GB isn't large by any stretch. There are 720p versions of pretty much everything (at least that's what I see on most Usenet Indexers). You could easily get a multiple terabyte external drive if your internal storage is full.

I'd even say that going to the theater sucks balls. The picture and sound quality usually sucks compared to a high quality download on a 75" 4k TV. Even a high bit rate 1080p video looks better than the theater.

It costs ,e over $100 to take the family out for a movie. As someone on disability right now that $100 is better spent on other things (Like a years worth of Usenet service ;) )

I see usenet, I upvote. Not on Reddit anymore but still a simple man.
