I pirated for a long time, and even though I had(have) large media libraries and the home server capacity to manage everything just fine, I stopped.
Not sure when, or why, I'm guessing a service broke and I just said fuck it, I already have Prime+Netflix, and that was years ago at this point.
Netflix's password policy and Amazon showing adds had me spin them up again, and even migrate over to Jellyfin because Plex is just another enshitified privacy nightmare.
Which was a pleasant surprise, because the last I tried Jellyfin years ago, it was not worth the hassle. Also, Plex wasn't nearly as bad as it is now.
To swing this back around to this article, I'm betting eventually they'll force their TVs online by disabling features, capabilities, or even the device itself, if it's not phoning home.
