At this point just sail the high seas until it gets much cheaper and re-allowed to share an account again.

Not worth the money and hassle for that crap.

It would be if it was licensed more like music. You pick the service that has the features you want, and they show whatever movies or series you want.

The main reason piracy is getting more prevalent now is because you have to subscribe to a dozen services to watch everything, so it's just easier to download a torrent than it is to juggle subscriptions.

Don't forget all the other little subscription services that have popped up.

Seems like I can't go a day without a few things wanting my cash monthly.

I don't currently sail the seas, but it's part of my next project, a cluster of pis or similar... I've got a hell of a server, and got it for free, but it just kills our electric bills and produces a lot of heat that the AC has to combat thus even higher electric bills. . Hoping a cluster of pis will be sufficient for what I want, but I've done no real research past proof of concept at this point.

Advice or resources welcome lol.
