Well, if I couldn't afford a subscription service before, now I absolutely can't. Problem is I'm too much of a goody two-shoes and as a result I don't pirate either - I genuinely haven't seen a single TV series in almost a decade as a result, and at this point I'm scared of people expecting me to understand cultural references I can't afford to legally learn
You're gonna die some day. Just watch the shows you want, you're not taking food out of a director's mouth.
Subscriptions are there for those who can afford it. If you literally cannot, I don't see the problem with sailing the seven seas until you can.
Eh… I’m not going to try to convince you that piracy is the answer, I’ll just mention that you’re already giving them as much as you’re willing to watch their content, why not just watch it anyway?
Funnily enough, we pay for most streaming services in our household, but I use Stremio and get my content off the high seas because it’s all contained in a single app, and doesn’t feed their analytics.
Not going to lie- while I do watch most of what interests me in a timely manner, I've found that any cultural references that I do miss are easily explained via memes.
Local libraries often have TV shows on DVD.
Our library provides a streaming service via hoopla.
Honestly you're probably better off and more interesting for your lack of pop culture knowledge.
Hahahahahahahaha. I was like that guy in my youth, not knowing what people were talking about was alienating. I was reading a lot of books instead and, of course, nobody understood the references too.
