I pay $15/month for a seedbox because I prefer the overall experience compared to Netflix, etc. My parents have given me their login details for the services they subscribe to, and every so often, I check them out, but end up going back to my seedbox + Plex setup. Some of the reasons I prefer my piracy-based setup:
I often set up a queue/playlist of shows, not necessarily all from the same series. As far as I'm aware, the streaming services let you do that.
My shows never pause to ask me if I'm still watching.
I can access an unlimited library of content without switching apps.
Content won't become unavailable if I try to access it from a different country or totally disappear when a contract expires.
Some episodes of some shows have been edited/censored, or removed completely, from whatever streaming service hosts it, but those episodes are available in their original form via torrents.
