I've been pirating for about twenty years, and now that I'm financially comfortable, I feel I should start to pay my way to help those who kept me entertained through the decades..

Really felt good clicking the "Paypal Donate" button on the QBittorrent update page 😂

To me, piracy is a service problem.

I too pay for my consumed media - via donations to Tixati.

I generally can't afford monthly streaming services but I can occasionally afford to donate 2-5 dollars to someone who made a show available to me 🤷
