    I run a huge server for myself, my friends and my family. Even I don’t watch half of the shit I have downloaded. I currently have a backlog of about 6-7 episodes from long running shows I regularly watch, I haven’t really picked up any new shows. Like half of my movie collection is unwatched.

    It’s not because of a lack of time either, I’m currently unemployed.

      Yeah pretty much. I thought I would pirate the stuff I did lose (Invincible S2 because it now has ads) but turns out I’m just not that interested. TV is great when the barrier to entry is on the floor as it was with streaming services but any minor obstacle is apparently enough. I take it a bit further by preferring to watch things on only high quality screens with high quality audio, nixing my phone as an option.

      It’s not for lack of time on my end either, I have plenty of free time. But there’s only so many hours in the day and usually I’d prefer to be doing something else.
