Fuck yeah. Piracy is about sharing, not becoming a media hoarder who expects to be paid for it yourself. Way to become just like the studios while giving fuck-nothing back to the artists.

Sharing is caring, baybee.

I feel personal attacked.

The hording part, not the profiting part.

Data hoarders unit!

That’s why I put together a NAS & Plex server; if I can get a handful of friends/family to drop their subscriptions, I’m sticking it to the man with little effort. I canceled all my streaming subs but I felt I could do a little more damage by sharing my server. Fuck what’s become of streaming.

Do you share your server with random strangers?

Friends, family, and coworkers. I’d be concerned of potentially getting reported and having my Plex account suspended (I have lifetime Plex pass) if I had randos on there. I’m also fairly limited on upload, only 40Mbps up on my cable.

That said, you can find Plex/Jellyfin/etc shares that are significantly larger than mine (like >10x larger) if you poke around. I was on a Jellyfin share that had 10k movies and an insane number of TV shows before it went down. That was my onus to build the NAS Plex box.
