    I stopped downloading like 10 years ago once piracy streaming sites fired up all over the place. Just get a decent ad blocking extension and watch whatever you want without downloading a thing. I stream all my sports, movies, TV, etc. No cable or subscriptions for years.

        The one I use has a ton of content from other countries if that's what you mean. If you mean less network-y or budget-heavy then I can't say for sure. I do mostly consume the 'prestige dramas' or whatever that the big streaming platforms release.

      That works well for movies and visual media for sure. Music streaming is absolutely a viable thing, but I still download a FUCKTON of music onto my phone (mobile soulseek client and utorrent FTW) so I always have the files.

      Just me tho. This a just a dumb meme, not throwing any shade.
