Even in this poorly made comparison shot I made you can tell the difference between streaming and "self hosting"

You don't need to be an expert to say "that's blurry and looks like shit in comparison".
Even understanding all this, a 2 hour movie in a 2.5gb hevc file is still a very tempting thing. Every movie I could ever want, at acceptable quality, all in under 8tb of space is really amazing.
I hate that i have to agree with you.
Last time my wife was watching a movie. It was a local file, and when i walked by, i saw that it was at max 720p and a bit choppy. I remarked that she should tell me which movie it was so i can replace it.
She asked "why would you?" - and i know that her eyes are in perfect shape. She simply does not recognize it when a video plays at crap quality, and she would have to search hard in the above pictures, while i saw the difference in an instant.
She hates ads just like me tho, so a pirates life it is for her :-)
