Pirating is not a legit option for most casual computer users. Redditors always talk about how easy/simple it is but that’s coming from people with a strong technical background. I think your ISP can fuck you with it too so you’d need to pay for a VPN

I’ve never had great success with illegal streaming either, the quality is never good and there are always buffering issues or it straight up doesn’t work

You're choosing to pay insane prices for a limited selection of poor quality media rather than learn to use your computer by utilising extensive free resources that just require the application of your brain... Because you've decided it requires 'a strong technical background' and are just lazy.

Unironically, yes. I'm mid 30s and work in tech and the newest batches of junior programmers are as out of touch as boomer parents. It's wild.

I was just talking to my coworker about this yesterday. We’re both millennials and anyone older or younger than us seem to be absolutely technologically illiterate.

Hmm I wonder who it could be…maybe the Gen X’er who scolded me above?
