Guess I'll just... Stop paying for shit ever again. Already set up a nice Jellyfin server with 16,000+ movies in anticipation of this garbage move so I'm good for the next 43 years assuming one movie a day, every day.
On an unrelated note, how much data storage does it take to host 16,000+ videos? I'm curious
How did you download so much? Radarr lists?
Mostly some custom scripts for scraping yts.mx, cross-referencing imdb for e.g. top 50/100 box office for each year (https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?year=${YEAR}&title_type=feature&) and automatically uploading to and downloading from my seedbox. Tried radarr but it wasn't really my thing. They're all basically garbage 1080p encodes but for their size they're passable enough for me, and my goal was a large library for discoverability not a small one for quality, so it worked out perfectly for that. Also been checking r/opensignups (RIP reddit) for good trackers when they have open registration for the occasional specific stuff that I want in better quality.
