How often do you consume the stuff you pirate? How do you avoid "hoarding"?

Asking mostly because I have fuckloads of video courses, plus a number of movies, that I have yet to even check if the content is as good as their titles imply and I really feel like I'm mostly hoarding this stuff because I have no fucking clue.

Storage is cheap. There’s no reason to delete content.

Only reason I delete content is when I upgrade. Like replacing a low resolution version of show with a higher one. Still, I keep immutable "snapshots" of my entire media folder so even after deleting something, It'll stick around for at least 6 months in case I need to restore it.

Same deal, got a full 3-2-1 backup of all my data! Easy to recover if I make a mistake but even easier to replace with higher quality newer builds of Linux isos.

depends on what job are you working

And where in the world you live.

I got a friend in Australia with a pretty similar storage setup to me, but he's paid about 1.5x as much as I did in the UK.
