Technology

Torrent:

-Unless your a millennial with really good memory... requires a (usually) a good paid VPN + 3 hours of reading and setup so you dont get nasty letters from your ISP.

-Requires requisite ports and knowledge of how to get the shows to your TV

-ideally requires a standalone PC, which most households no longer have

-Requires knowledge of additional programs that need to be researched and have paid competition

-Requires knowledge of how to find the source material, with huge gatekeeping between source pools

I am probably forgetting other stuff, especially for Gen Z and now the oldest Gen Alpha. But if I as a millennial feel it's a burden to relearn the steps for something I already was doing a decade or so ago. That must be a massive bar for someone who never had their hand in it, so to speak.

I am not saying it's impossible, just I haven't found a straight forward guide from beginning to end, with all the new technology included. And the first time they get a love note from their ISP, they will likely just stop.

Edit: The vastly different responses with different solutions, only proves to me that this is more complex than people let on. You have some people giving services that weren't mentioned in the OP in euros (not that there is anything wrong with Europe, just a different experience. Do EU IPs even send love notes? Then you get a mix of people saying what the best VPN is and other people saying you don't even need a VPN. Just so much different information, is it surprising that people could feel overwhelmed?
