This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I want to watch Dark Matter without a million popups, malware or shady "trust me bro" programs.

FMHY (Free Media Heck Yeah) has a pretty solid guide for beginners on how to find most forms of media safely.

Literally the only thing missing is full migration to H265 or AV1 with a solid bitrate.

It's still a bit inconsistent due to hardware acceleration capabilities and final file size targets.

Most torrents are too compressed or too huge.

Luckily bandwidth and storage is cheaper than ever, so going for full size quality rips is viable for many.

Netflix entered into the already existing sphere of greed based commodification / exploitation that legacy media created decades ago. these legacy media conglomerates (owned circularly by the same big players in wall street black rock, vangaurd, state street et all.) dominate and control multiple industries and now Netflix is just part of that same ecosystem amassing wealth for their own self centered agenda without much, if any oversight at all. Theres just few greedy old cigar smoking men or rather boardrooms lead by these same men controling a majority of the world. Blackrock, blackston, state street and vanguard circularly own about 20% of disney and they own around the same percentage of netflix as well. Nevermind all the other media outlets they own large shareholding positions of. Greed is not the accidental result its the primary objective
